Considering 1,757 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company, particularly praising the reliable coverage. Customers frequently highlight the efficient claim process, mentioning that payments are processed quickly and often coordinated directly with veterinary practices. People also deeply appreciate the supportive customer service team, describing staff members as polite, responsive, and remarkably compassionate during emotionally stressful situations.

I have found Purely Pets staff always helpful when I have telephoned regarding renewal. Their costings are very competitive and I have not found any better for my two dogs, both different in age and breed. Highly recommended.

Been with this company for a number of years for my Pet Insurance, I have never made a claim until earlier this year. My renewal was due last month and the premium has doubled from £30 per month to £60 which I think is daylight robbery, I was expecting it to increase a little but double really?

Good evening,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I am sorry if your renewal premium is higher than expected. I appreciate it can be frustrating when the premiums increase.

Although the age of your pet is considered when the premiums are generated, it's not the only factor involved.

We also take into account the area you live, the rising cost of veterinary fees and the advancement in veterinary medicine amongst other things.

If you would like to discuss your renewal, or an alternative level of cover, please call our team on 0330 102 5748.

Thank you,
Billie.

Fair priced policy for better cover than previous policy

So far, this looks like a good policy. Hopefully, we will never need it. Nearly half the price of the renewal quote from previous insurers, even though we didn't make a claim on that.

Poor value

The settlement of our last claim barely covered half of what we had had to spend, then when it came to renewing the policy you almost doubled the premium. Which to my mind is more than unreasonable. It was only a lack of time to research alternative providers that kept me with you. If you applied a similar increase next year I will definitely not stay with Purely Pets.

Unbelievable increase in monthly insurance premium for an old dog with very little wrong with her. They wanted to increase premium from £80 to £150 per month.

I am sorry if your premium is higher than expected, I understand it can be frustrating when the premiums increase.

These can be for a number of reason, and although the age of the pet is considered it's not the only factor involved. We also take into account any claims made, the rising cost of veterinary fees and the advancement in veterinary medicine.

Disappointed at price increase

Easy to renew policy. Only disappointing thing was the high increase in price of policy bearing in mind I have not made a claim since having my dog insured with them for the past 5 years. Did send an email questioning this as could have got it £10 a month cheaper but never received an answer! Stayed with them as tbh could not be bothered to change!

They will not give me an answer whether my dogs illness is insured or not. Myself and my vet have tried but they will not answer. Even when the vet has forwarded what needs to happen to my dog. Very disappointing

Good evening,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I am sorry that we're unable to guarantee the outcome of any claim prior to the treatment going ahead, I appreciate this can be frustrating.

To enable us to come to the correct decision whilst assessing your claim we require, the full medical history, an itemised invoice and the full clinical notes which wouldn't be available until after the treatment has gone ahead.

Our team are more than happy to go through your level of cover with you, and offer as much support as we can, however, we will be unable to guarantee any settlement.

Thank you,
Billie.

This was a first claim in 8 years. Submitted via my vet practice and settled quickly. Kept up to date with progress so no complaints.
