Easy claims process

Easy claims process, phone calls are answered by a real person within a minute. The only difficulty is there is no option for undiagnosed illness on claim form. Should be able to add/type in a condition.

Cover seemed too good to be true for desexing, chipping and vaccinating, but was as promised. Couldn't ask for better service and repayment extremely prompt. Great cover, great service, highly recommend.

For the second time

For the second time, in regards to settling a claim I was advised that the payment being made into the nominated bank account is less the excess of $150. But the excess under the policy is $50.

That's pretty stressful to me.

However , the issue was sorted out on 4 July, although it is now 7 July and the amount has not come into the account.

So an honest review at 1 star... even though I like your team a lot.

Hi Chris, Thank you for honest rating, and apologies for any stress caused from what I can see looking into this, it was a simple excess error regarding the type of cover you had with us, rest assured we have made some changes so that this will never happen again, kind regards Michelle

Vaccinations and microchips

We had both our kittens vaccinated and micro chipped. We paid for the service and then put in the claim. The money was transferred the next day. Very happy with the service. Always friendly staff. Also love how they mention they hope the kittens are doing well when they email about the claim.

Quick and easy to submit a claim but the process to review and approve the claim is incredibly slow. When we took out insurance 2 years ago it was fast, within a couple of days, but now it takes around 2 weeks.

Update: Appreciate the reply even thought it's 7 months later, however nothing appears to have changed. I submitted a claim earlier this month and it has not been processed, 8 working days and counting.

Generally very good interaction.

Generally very good interaction with staff and quick response to claims resolution and queries. (for those who are computer literate)
My only disappointment as a relatively recent policy holder is the rise in excess encouraging one to reexamine outlay to outcomes and seek comparisons with other companies. Could I suggest a graduated excess system over a 12 month period say low, medium and present depending on risk assessment?
