Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 1,786 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the support team for being polite, highly responsive, and handling veterinary claims smoothly without unnecessary complications. Consumers genuinely appreciate the straightforward purchasing process, competitive pricing, and the comforting peace of mind that their animals are fully protected. However, some reviewers were not happy with the steep price hikes occurring year after year. People noted that annual renewal premiums can dramatically escalate as animals age, leaving them feeling trapped because changing providers is restricted by prior health conditions. A few individuals also found response times for certain written inquiries to be frustratingly slow.

Would highly recommend Purely Pets

We phoned Purely Pets for a quote for a policy for our dog!
The gentleman whom we spoke to was very helpful, knowledgeable and very good at explaining everything, patient and understanding.
We took out the policy there and then as the quote was very reasonable compared with lots of other companies. Would highly recommend Purely Pets

Absolutely absurd prices

Absolutely absurd prices. My annual premium for my Jack Russell Terrier has gone up by 29% to £522. This is despite never making a claim and other than some analk gland issues when he was pup a clean bill of health. These companies are taking advantage of us and they wonder why so many end up needing rescue, people just cant afford it. £522/year insurance for a dog that cost £160. Disgusting!!!

I have been with purely pets for 5…

I have been with purely pets for 5 years, when I get the reminder for renewal I always take out a new policy as this year it was about £50 cheaper than my renewal quote, I don't know why insurance companies do this, they should think about loyalty wiith their customers, this refers to all types of insurance

Good morning
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
I appreciate that it may be frustrating when a new policy is cheaper than your renewal, this may be for a number of reasons.
A new policy will contain a waiting period before your cover starts and will often exclude any conditions that occurred prior to the policy starting. At renewal, our policy would look to cover conditions that may have been present in the previous term providing there are no breaks in cover.
Purely Pets offer a range of policies you can switch between so if you are looking to reduce your premium, but keep existing conditions covered, please do not hesitate to contact our team on 0330 102 5748
Thank you,
