Diabolical AVOID if you have common sense

I have had Asda pet insurance which is fine via Insurance Factory since 2023, I have made 1 claim in Sept 24 and after 3 months my claim has still not been resolved. I have spent numerous hours on telephone calls getting absolutely nowhere and sent over 18 emails to try and get a response. They DO NOT like to pay out on insurance claims and will do anything to delay the process. There have requested information from mom y vets on 3 separate occasions when they have been sent the invoice. If you are looking to insure your pet don’t go with them, I post nearly £50 a month for absolutely no service. I would suggest paying that premium (which I think is quite high abed not a cheap insurance policy) you’re better off going with a reputable company like animal friends or pet plan for a similar amount. Very poor customer service AVOID unless you’re happy to spend gals ac year trying to claim the money back.

If I could put minus I would.

If I could put minus I would.
I have had Asda Pet insurance for many years usually for 2 dogs. However the service at the moment is abysmal!
My current claim has almost 10 week delay. Communication is dire!
As a pensioner with limited resources this is now starting to impact on the care of my dog!
I will be cancelling the policy for my younger pet, which I have had for 2 and half years, thankfully not needed to claim. I cannot take a risk by remaining with Asda who operate through the Insurance Factory!A

Do not take out pet insurance with this company. My insurance was with Asda now run by this company. Claims take in excess of 3 months to be processed and this has now been for over two years, continued excuse is that it is a busy time. Then they will not always pay for claims, citing small print that I have never seen with Petplan. Spend a bit more money on the premium and use a more reputable company as it will benefit in the long run. I wish I had and I’m now tied to this company with a lifetime condition policy.

Purely Pets aka Insurance Factory Limited aka HDI Global Specialty SE

Purely Pets aka Insurance Factory Limited aka HDI Global Specialty SE

I am writing this review to share my recent experience with a pet insurance company. As a pet owner, I believed that taking out pet insurance would provide a safety net for my pet in case of any life-changing diagnoses. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from satisfactory.

My pet was diagnosed with several conditions during a visit to a veterinary hospital. We submitted a claim for these conditions to the insurance company, who declined the claim on the grounds that they were “Pre-Existing Conditions”.

The insurance company referred to a note made by our local vet, which mentioned a concern about a possible condition. However, this was not a formal diagnosis. At that time, my pet was not fully developed. It was too early in her life for a full diagnosis of this condition.

Despite this, the insurance company has classified this condition as pre-existing based on this note and declined our claim. This fixation on an unrelated condition to deny a payout is deeply disappointing.

The purpose of pet insurance is to cover our pets for life-changing diagnoses and to make it possible to even gain a diagnosis in the first place so we can prepare for their future. We did not expect to be treated in this manner. This scandalous activity does not bode well for the future, and we feel compelled to share our experience publicly to spread awareness of these practices.

In conclusion, I would advise pet owners to be cautious when considering this company for their insurance needs. The experience has been far from what one would expect from a pet insurance provider.

Avoid at all costs...

Still waiting for our claim to be assessed, after three months. Still no indication as to when this might happen. Avoid this company at all costs as if I didn't know better I would think it is some kind of scam. Oh and you'll have to wait on the phone for 30 mins to speak to anyone....

Very poor service

Very poor service. Like other reviews the delays in paying are ridiculous. The claim was submitted at the start of October and they took 3 weeks to acknowledge.
Another 6 weeks has passed and it has still has not been authorised.
The excuse of 'we are so busy' is pathetic!

Still no settlement after 2+ months

Substantial claim submitted 26/9/2024 to Healthy Pets for treatment for cat with lymphoma. Cat has since died but still no money from claim. Emailed several times, spoke on phone, and only response is its being dealt with, that they're very busy. This is appalling service. Where is my money?

Now contacting Financial Ombudsman.

Absolutely avoid this company.

Absolutely avoid this company at all cost.
They delay, delay and stall claims.
We have been waiting since early July for our continuation claim to be settled. They keep stalling stating they need more information from the Vets. They have had all the information that they need and now state they require further information and if this is not received within 31 days the claim will be cancelled. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. How can you think it’s Legitimate operate like this?
Do not waste your hard earned money on this company.

Refused to pay for putting dog to sleep

Refused to pay out for when we had to have our dog put to sleep citing arthritis as a previous condition (which was declared). Absolutely scam. At no point is end of life cover indicated as something that wouldn't be paid for in these circumstances and they were very pleased to take a significant premium every month. Worth avoiding at all costs.
