Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 275 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the support team for being friendly, approachable, and providing genuinely helpful guidance during stressful situations. Policyholders note that veterinary bills and insurance claims are handled remarkably quickly, smoothly, and without unnecessary bureaucratic fuss. Many consumers highlight the great ease of communicating through online chat facilities and speaking directly with polite representatives. However, some customers also noted rapidly increasing policy prices, large annual renewals, and increasingly mounting expenses over long periods. A small group of reviewers additionally experienced unexpected excess charges and substantial percentage contributions when processing their claims.

Always reachable by telephone ( real human!!) Very fair payouts for my elderly cat. Rather expensive premiums and too many excesses.

Good, straightforward service and prompt action

The most important thing to me was that my claim was paid promptly and without fuss. I used the Live Chat facility to help me complete the correct online forms which was really helpful and when I needed to speak to an agent, they were polite, concerned for my animal’s wellbeing and answered my questions fully.

Weasels

Only ever made one claim in 5.5 years before cancelling today. Our premiums went up and up, then up again.

Our dog had to have a castration due to having blood in his pee. Total bill £1200 (£800 investigation + £400 castration).

The vet claimed on our behalf, advising that the castration might not be covered. It wasn't. In fact NONE of it was covered! Apparently an intact dog does not get the same cover as a castrated one.

The pet insurance sector is just a racket, and all insurance companies are laughing in our faces.

Cancelled my insurance immediately. I'll put the £90 per month in a savings account and do it that way. I'd have been way in credit by now if I'd just done this from day one.

Filled out all the relevant forms plus public liability online in regards to my pet dogue de Bordeaux, when it came to buying the insurance at the end a yellow box comes up saying we can’t insure your pet dogue de Bordeaux for public liability, I rang the company and asked why this was just to be told we won’t insure them as they are high risk, I asked in what sense as they are not banned or dangerous breeds, was told they considered them high risk due to their size. Stupid comment in my opinion

Nothing but praise

Nothing but praise - Isabel helped with my issue - it was a mistake on my part and they were very responsive and efficient and were able to help me reinstate my pet insurance asap after noticing my mistake! - thank you! We now have both of our pets on this insurance and have no plans to switch! We also have them insured through the PitPatPet tracker and app which means if we keep our dogs activity above their daily minimum our excess fees are waived - this is amazing! We have nothing but praise and would encourage this provider if you were struggling to find the right insurance. (Previously with Purley Pets who were good but just slightly more expensive for a little less quality in my opinion! - although we had nothing bad with them just customer experience in general) 10/10 for pet protect! Thank you :)
