No reminder for auto-renewal

No reminder for auto-renewal, no chance to alter my cover before starting new policy. Managed to stop autorenewal but yet to know if it will actually stop the payment coming out as I’ve taken out a new policy instead.

Hello Courtney,

Thank you for taking the time out to leave a review.

We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your renewal experience.

We send renewal invitations before a policy is due to renew, outlining your renewal premium, cover details and the automatic renewal process where applicable. We're sorry if you did not receive this information or did not have the opportunity to make changes before your policy renewed.

Having reviewed your account, I can see that you contacted us and decided not to renew your policy. Your automatic renewal was cancelled in line with your request, so your policy will not renew and no further payments will be taken.

We're sorry to see you leave and would like to thank you for choosing Petgevity. We wish you and your pet all the very best for the future.

Kind regards,

Petgivity - accessible and helpful

My Cockapoo had a tumour in his jaw. Petgivity helped take the strain off me by dealing direct with his hospital during his illness. Once we had established Ted was covered for this illness, it was a smooth procedure and somebody from Petgivity was always on hand to deal with any concerns I had. I can unreservedly recommend them.

Absolutely fantastic company and…

Absolutely fantastic company and extremely caring and understanding as unfortunately we lost our beautiful dog Miley at the young age of 3 years old to a sudden illness that we weren’t aware of and we got loads of help and support from petgevity I’m so glad we chose them for our insurance as the paid almost all of the vet bill and also paid the full amount for what we paid for our beloved dog it was recently my birthday and today I received a little gift from petgevity from Miley it’s was a nice little card with a little packet of seeds for a little flower to remember Miley which was extremely nice and such a lovely thought thank you so much

I had been with Petgevity for around 3 years. When my dog took cancer and we were doing through a difficult time they took care of everything along with our vets. Unfortunately Maddie didn't make it and we lost her in April. Once all claims were settled, yesterday i received a lovely card to say how sorry they are and had Forget me not seeds to plant in memory of her which filled my heart. I would definitely recommend this company for pet insurance.

Good experience

So far, we have been using Petgevity for a year now and have needed to make several claims. The process is very clear, easy and efficient. Communication has been very good keeping us informed at every stage. Would definitely recommend. And the cost is reasonable

Doesn’t listen

I would have given a higher rating as while I had the insurance it was fine. But since not renewing it I have been bombarded with emails asking what it is I need help with although I have already cancelled it and they promised to take my name off the mailing list. Yet I still get emails!

The insurance is good in that

The insurance is good in that, the one time I've needed to use it, they paid out without any problems which helped reduce stress at an already stressful time. However, it is incredibly expensive for my 3 year old cat already, so probably won't be sustainable in the long run. I chose this insurance for my cat as he had a pre-existing condition and I wanted to be sure any complications from that would be covered. However, he has been fit and healthy with no recurring issues since, and the only time I've had to claim it was for an unrelated injury. My other animals (2 dogs and 1 kitten) are covered under a different insurance which is far less expensive (except for my 13 year old dog, because of his age) and don't put up the premium if you make a claim. I wouldn't use this insurance company if my cat didn't have a preexisting condition, because over £100 a month for a 3 year old cat is excessive. I pay much less for my 8 year old dog!!

Good afternoon Sakura,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Premiums can increase at renewal for a few reasons. As pets get older, the risk of illness or injury tends to rise, which can affect the cost of cover. If you've made a claim, that can also impact your premium. Additionally, vet fees and treatment costs are rising across the industry, and these increases affect all policyholders — not just individual cases. Our prices are also regularly reviewed to remain competitive, but factors such as government tax changes, increased treatment and medication costs, and overall veterinary inflation have made it necessary to adjust our pricing to stay sustainable.

That said, we can also look at options to help reduce your premium, such as increasing the excess or bill share, or lowering the vet fee cover.

Our system shows that there have been no claims made since 2023. If Bengali has not had any check-ups or been prescribed or taken any medication, had any symptoms, or had any tests, test results or surgery for a condition or been treated in the last 2 years, and he has no ongoing conditions diagnosed over 2 years ago, that he may not have needed to see a vet about, we can review the medical conditions that are declared on the policy.

If you want to discuss your renewal options further, please call our customer service team on 0333 006 3211, email info@petgevity.co.uk or start a live chat with us via your online account or our website www.petgevity.co.uk

Kind regards,
Michele.

Petgevity insurance for my small dog

I've not had to use my insurance and hopefully going forward I never will but if I did I am confident that the cover I have with Petgevity will make things less stressful. I have used the online vet service for advice which is a great addition if you are unsure if an issue warrants a vet visit. The price is comparable with others so I have decided to stay with Petgevity

Good afternoon Mary,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It's pawsome to hear that you've made use of the FirstVet app, which gives pet owners unlimited advice and access to video consultations with UK-registered vets.

FirstVet is available to all Petgevity policyholders once their cover has started. The service can provide advice, treatment recommendations, and referrals to a local vet practice if needed. In addition, pet owners can access 30-minute "first aid" behavioural consultations with qualified Clinical Animal Behaviourists.

We're delighted that you're benefiting from this valuable service and appreciate you sharing your experience.
Thank you for being part of the Petgevity pack!

Kind regards,
Michele.

Good afternoon Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I am sorry to hear that you did not receive your renewal quote. Renewal invitations are usually sent at least 21 days before the renewal date. I have contacted the relevant department to check whether the renewal documents were issued and will review this further. In some cases, these emails can be filtered into spam or junk folders.

I can see that you have since spoken with one of our agents and that your policy is now active. Thank you for choosing to insure Frank with us for another year. We truly value your continued custom and look forward to providing cover for you and Frank in the year ahead

Kind regards,
Michele.

Probably the best pet insurance I've had

Have had pet insurance with many companies over the years and this one is by far the best experience all round. Sufficient cover for a pup with allergies and really well priced. Barely increases each year and so easy to deal with
