Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the seamless and prompt handling of claims, often highlighting the efficiency of the payment process. Many people appreciate the excellent customer service, noting that staff are friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with, even offering support through live chat. The overall service is frequently described as fantastic, with many users recommending the company for its reliability and supportive approach during difficult times. However, some customers also noted significant and unjustified increases in premiums, with policies sometimes doubling or tripling in price over a short period, even for loyal customers with few claims. This has led some to question the value for money, especially when compared to other providers or when facing high co-payments and capped payouts for common procedures.

PetProtect were helpful and paid promptly

PetProtect were helpful and supportive on the phone, and settled the claim within a week once it was submitted. If you think that the market leader is the only option, then don't. PetProtect don't direct settle with your vet, but if you pay by credit card then you won't be out of pocket. Also they offer great ways to keep the premiums down - in my case I pay 20% of the claim plus a £100 excess, which lowers my annual outlay, but still means I don't have to worry that I will have trouble paying a £5000 vet bill.

Wow... How The Best Has Fallen 😣

Wow. We have been with Pet Protect for the last 3 to 4 years insuring our Maine Coon Molly.
Policy No. 185732.
The premiums were reasonable and their cover for when we needed it was excellent. However our premiums doubled last year ..but we took the hit. I was shocked to find out that the recent renewal has doubled again! From £14 per month in the first year to over £60 per month in three years is a joke. What happened to one of the best?
British Insurance is just broken like everything else and they just don't care.
So disappointed.

I've been with Pet Protect for my dogs entire life (he's a 12 year old boxer) and i've never had a major issue with them. They process claims fast and most of all they've been very fair, which is all you want when dealing with insurance.
