Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 491 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers find the online portal very straightforward to navigate and truly appreciate the prompt claim payouts, alongside reasonable monthly pricing when compared to other major insurers in the market. People frequently mention that the overall support and communication are excellent, which helps take a lot of the stress away during difficult veterinary visits. Some reviewers were not happy with unexpected claim rejections or sudden policy exclusions applied regarding prior minor health conditions. A few other people also felt that renewal costs can increase quite significantly after the first year of coverage.

Beware of the term 'lifetime insurance'…

Beware of the term 'lifetime insurance' with PDSA pet Insurance. Our dog started limping, the vet prescribed pain relief as she was unable to find a cause for the dog's discomfort. We were told to return if things did not improve and did so three days later when the dog's paw had become swollen. This was successfully treated with antibiotics. As the two vet visits happened to be either side of the policy renewal date we had to pay the excess on both of the vet's bills as the claims were classed as Year 2 and 3 so treated separately I have been informed.
In reply to the PDSA Pet Insurance standard response, I have already discussed my disappointment with their Complaints Department without a positive outcome.

Dog insurance.

Decided to take out a dog pet insurance policy and received the welcome pack. However, I found even showing a small concern and not an illness, relating to my dog can affect any future claims.
I cancelled, after a telephone conversation with the company. Sorry, but I was not impressed.
