Simple and quick.

The online procedure for starting a claim was very simple and the information required was minimal.
Post Office Pet insurance contacted my vet directly for the details of Holly's condition and kept me updated regularly by email.
The process could not have been easier and the claim was paid in full into my account within 3weeks despite it being Christmas!

Took my money for 10 months and then started asking questions.

Took my money for 10 months and then, when I submitted a claim, started asking important questions in order to find a way out of paying. These should have been asked at the beginning, if they were important, before they took my money and I consider it borderline fraud. They took a month, from the original incident, to pay up so don't believe the 98% 5 day pay out statement.

Claim for my daschund

Claim for my dog's trea tent was made by my vet after I gave them my Post. Office pet policy number. I paid the bill at the time but soon got an email from Post Office Pet Insurance to say they were crediting my bank account with the sum minus my agreed condition excess. I had to do nothing to chase up. Very pleased.

Post Office Pet Insurance are the best!!

Our experience with Post Office has been absolutely fantastic since the start. We’ve been with them for a few years now. Unfortunately, recently we had to make a big claim for our poorly dog. They’ve paid out instantly with no questions asked. With what has been the most stressful and extremely upsetting time, they have made us feel at ease when it’s come to the finance side of things. There’s been no hassle at all (which is very unusual for a pet insurance company - we have experienced this with our previous dog and another insurance company).

We’ve recommended Post Office to our family and friends as they have been the best.

We’ve renewed our policy with them again for next year and will continue to do so throughout the remaining years of our dog’s life.

If you are thinking of a pet insurance company - Post Office is the one! We also highly recommend everyone has pet insurance as you honestly never know when something bad might happen.

Thank you so so much once again!

Have had Post Office pet insurance for my collie cross for 4 years, and was so pleased with their company, I insured a second edition ( a little terrier) with them. The annual fees are at reasonable. The claims form is very easy and straightforward to fill in, and the payments back to me are super fast. Perfect for my needs.
