Helpful call back from Jamie
With my second claim for a blood test, consultation and medicine I was confused how to claim as I had a £200 excess in the new policy year. However a call back from Jamie was so helpful and my claim was successful.

Great communication and response times
I have had pet insurance for 3 years with only paws and have recently had to make a claim. I have been very impressed with only paws, communication is great and response times are very quick. This also includes a query from completing a contact form.

Fast claim payout
Fast claim payout.
Because my dog was seen at two different veterinary practices, I had to fill in two claim forms ,which was tedious as I could have just stated this on one claim form and sent receipts.

Hi Jane, it is common practice if you are using two vets that you would need to submit separate claims but luckily our digital claims process is so fast, it takes minutes to submit a claim online.

Quick and easy claim
I have insured our pet cat for a couple of years now. We have recently needed to make a claim and the process was easy and fuss-free. I submitted the claim online and within a few working days, I received an e-mail saying the claim had been processed and the money due would be paid into my bank account within 3 - 5 working days. It couldn't have been easier - thank you!

Very good communication at every stage of claim. Have only knocked off one star as payment hasn’t landed yet, but I’ve been told it’s on route… They have paid earlier payments so no need to think this won’t arrive too, but just being cautious!

Disappointing failure to address out of hours costs
We had a dog who became acutely distressed at 8.30pm. Her abdomen was rigid and we worried about bloat. We contacted an out of hours serice who asked us to attend promptly. We did. By the time we got there she was more settled and on examination her abdomen was improved - so we agreed to wait and see. £300 later!
Discussed with own vet next day. She was back to normal - so no additional treatment required.
Insurance claim. Rejected as she did not have a life threatening condition and we hadn't attended our normal vet.
Since then they are being more and more obtuse. It seems that, if you suspect bloat but it isn't, this insurance company will not cover out of hours expenses.
Not surprising but always disappointing when a company that shows promise starts to quote their fine print!
In the middle of appealing but expect we'll be moving on unless they develop some objectiveity and compassion.

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your review.
For the out-of-hours claim, while our policies do include cover for life-threatening emergencies, they don’t extend to out-of-hours charges if your pet could have safely been seen during normal vet hours. That said, we do still cover standard consultation costs and any eligible veterinary treatment in those situations.
Our appeals gives your vet the opportunity to submit any further information that may not have been available when the claim was first assessed. Please contact us at claims@frankpetinsurance.co.uk and a member of our team will be happy to help.

Hello there,
Thanks for your feedback.
Under our Dental Booster cover, treatment needs to be carried out within three months of your vet recommending it for the costs to be eligible, as set out in the policy wording. This requirement is there to help prevent the condition from getting worse if left untreated and to make sure claims are assessed fairly. That said, we’re always happy to review things, we do offer an appeals process if you believe the decision is incorrect. Please contact us at claims@onlypawspetinsurance.co.uk and our team will be happy to help.

Hi Ashley, your policy is a 12 month subscription and it works on a month to month basis, giving you the freedom to amend your cover at any time during your policy period. This is something not possible with most other insurers.
