It was all pretty efficient and not difficult to make the claim. I’ve never made a pet insurance claim before so didn’t really know how it all worked. It would have been great to have some sort of pre-authorisation possible or some kind of indication that the claim would be accepted. It was slightly nerve racking paying out so much money on the treatment without knowing it would be covered but I guess that’s just how these things are done. Pet ownership can be an expensive business, so I’m glad I had this cover in place and the claim was accepted.

The claim was settled with great efficiency.
The only complaints are that I was charged excess twice even though the last surgery was for an ongoing claim.
Not having an online portal to login to is pretty annoying though.

My claim was handled quickly and professionally from the initial contact to payment. I was kept informed during the process and very happy with the way the claim was dealt with. Thank you Muddy Paws.

My Dog suddenly went blind & had other symptoms. The cost was just under £500 for tests. Quick & easy to claim online, they contacted my Vets for information. After paying the excess and 20% because he is 9, the remaining payment was paid into our account within 3-4 weeks.
We claim every year for an ongoing condition & this claim for new illness was an easy process

Its a hard time financially and some of us are living hand to mouth and trying to do right by looking after our pets. Cost of living has made things hard so timely and timescales can be helpful.
Otherwise, my claim was dealt with ok.
Not everyone is au fait with terminology and processes, I think that too would help when you're first claiming. Some things I wasnt clear on and worse off after asking, not helpful when youre already stressed.

Easy process, money came quickly.
I would have preferred more transparency with the handling of invoices rather than them going direct to the vet to obtain

The claims process is extremely slow. We submitted the claim on the 9th March and were informed on 28th April that settlement was being made. I don't feel that 7 weeks is acceptable.

Unfortunately I found myself needing surgery on my knee. And having to have time of work, I contacted Trent for help, and they were extremely helpful and polite. Once all the initial forms were completed the payment was quick to follow, they even back dated my payments because the doctor was slow to do their bit of the form, they were an actual god send in an uncertain time of no sick pay...thank you

Very easy procedure from start to finish. The system navigates the claim in a very straight forward way without over complicating things.

I’ve been paying for the insurance for a number of years, this is for bring off work due to ill health and this’s the first time I’ve ever used it. The claiming process was made easy by the staff who were very helpful. The only thing I would say is I wish I’d paid more as my claim wasn’t enough to cover all my needs.

My dog has diagnosis hip dysplasia and I have made claims for treatment with previous claim handler before with no problem at all.
However, for some reason claim handler changed to Trent Services and can’t think of anything positive to say, very difficult and disappointing.

So easy to deal with this company. I found my self in the unfortunate position of fracturing my wrist. Work doesnt pay enhanced pay just flat rate. This insurance policy is invaluable. Once the claim forms are submitted and the claim is agreed the payment arrives so quickly. Every month I was off once my continuation form was submitted payment was so quick no waiting around. The communication is so easy too and they respond in a timely manner. I really do recommend their services.

Very slow experience of settling claims. The give you timeframes that they don’t work to.
Complaint in progress not yet heard back. Did not receive renewal policy’s.
Be aware when your dog reaches 7 you are expected to pay 25percent of the claim plus your excess
Example
Say bill is 500
25 percent 125 plus 150 excess =275 works out you are actually paying more than the insurance
I believe aswell it goes up again when dog is 12
I wasn’t aware of the 25 percent because I didnt receive policies
I had never made a claim on policy so when I initially telephone to claim I asked for an explanation of the process. It was discussed my excess would be taken but it was never discussed because he was 2 months over the age of 7 that I’d need to pay this additional 25percent

When making a claim a lot of information is required once all the information is submitted the payment process is fast.
