Riina was polite and pleasant

Riina was polite and pleasant from beginning to end and was very helpful with my query. I got all the information I needed and she was very knowledgeable about the next steps so I know what to expect. Nothing was too much trouble.

Communication is very good and if you need to speak to them, they are very friendly and professional.

Hello Bruce,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review as we do appreciate all feedback. We are sorry to learn that you have been unhappy with your recent claims experience.

Whilst we thrive and aim to have claims assessed within 8 working days or sooner, this can sometimes take a little bit longer if we are waiting on information from a third party (i.e. vets/breeder). We completely understand how frustrating this can be, and we do send reminders to try and obtain this information as quickly as possible.

If you would like to discuss this further, please give us a call on 03330 30 10 00 or email us at info@agriapet.co.uk with your policy number.

Kind regards

I would hartily recommend KC insurance

I aways had a good experience when needing to make claims and felt that the renewal where always fair.
My dog had epilepsy from quite an early age and KC insurance where very supportive of the costs involved in stabilising that condition through out her life.
