Shame I couldn't score this company nil…
Shame I couldn't score this company nil or minus stars. The one time my cat needed treatment, for teeth lesions which my vet says is not an uncommon condition as cats age, I told that because I hadn't selected some obscure add on to my main policy then I wasn't covered. Totally unaware of these add-ons when renewing each year. When trying to claim, also discovered they don't have a phone number after endless searching - you have to email them or complete a form for a call back - needless to say after sending this twice, I wasn't contacted by phone either time as promised, just an email saying my cat's condition not covered - absolutely terrible service, would avoid them at all costs- impression is they will try and resist majority of claims

Unprompted review
Reply from Only Paws Pet Insurance
Good morning Rob, thank you for your review. I can see that an agent responded to your query by email and offered to arrange a call if you still wished to speak with someone directly. This process has generally worked well for most of our customers, as it provides a clear written response first. However, I’m sorry to hear it hasn’t met your expectations. Please be assured that it is never our intention to cause any frustration.
The additional boosters are designed to enhance your policy by giving you the flexibility to tailor the cover to your pet’s individual needs. These options are clearly shown during the quote process, where you can also select the policy limits that suit you best.
As a company, we strive to deliver excellent customer service and truly value your feedback. Your comments will be shared with the relevant team for review.
Couldn’t recommend less
Couldn’t recommend less. 9 out 10 claims are discounted, really not worth the premiums you pay this company. It would be far better to put money aside for your pets needs. Years of wasted money and fake assurance.
As the saying goes, you only know how good a company is when you need to claim. Buyers beware

Easy to claim, quick to pay
Reasonably priced insurance, although it's very difficult to compare pet insurance policies. Easy to buy. Crucially, easy to claim and quick to pay out.

Only Paws - doesn't impose co-payment excesses
I previously held pet insurance for my elderly cat with Only Paws. What sets them apart from other insurers that they don't impose co-payment excesses when the pet ages. It purely increases from £99 to £200 so you know in advance how much you will pay rather than having to pay 10-20% of the vets fees plus an excess. The claim process is also easily done and quickly paid. I've looked at other insurers now I have a new young rescue cat but cannot find another insurer that doesn't impose a co-payment excess when the pet ages.

Hi Colette,
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review — we’re really grateful you took the time to share your experience. It’s great to hear that our approach to covering older pets stood out for you. At Only Paws, we don’t apply co-payments for older pets, just the fixed excess increase from £99 to £200, so you always know what to expect, no matter your pet’s age.
A big welcome to your new rescue cat 🐾 — We are thrilled to have you back on board with us.
Warm regards,
The Only Paws Pet Insurance Team

Vat after set dd up bit of a con
May 27, 2025
Reply from Only Paws Pet Insurance
Good Evening Stephen, Thank you for your feedback.
Just to clarify, we don’t charge VAT on our policies. The reference you may be thinking of is to Insurance Premium Tax (IPT), which is a government-required tax and is already included within the premium you see throughout the quote process.
It’s not an additional charge added after setting up the policy — the full cost, including IPT, is displayed clearly at every stage of the journey.
If you have any questions or would like us to take a closer look at your quote, feel free to get in touch at info@onlypawspetinsurance.co.uk — we’re here to help.
Kind Regards,
