What out or get ripped off at renewal
Reasonably helpful when needed although never straight forward when making a claim. Then when renewal came the auto system piled up the price by over £200. Then using using a comparison site their premium was significantly lower but still not a good as other providers. I assumed the price the previous year was due to a claim so let the auto renewal run, but I should have checked as this year with anew company I’m paying premium way cheaper than I was with 4paws several years ago

Good morning Mr Passmore
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about your experience - especially that you’ve been left feeling ripped off at renewal, which is absolutely not how we want our customers to feel.
Making a claim should be as clear and straightforward as possible, so I’m disappointed to hear this hasn’t been your experience. We’ll use this feedback to look at how we can make our claims journey easier to understand and less stressful.
On your renewal, I completely understand your frustration at seeing such a large increase, particularly when comparison sites and other providers are offering lower prices. Premiums are based on a number of factors - including claims history, cover level and wider market conditions - but that doesn’t change the fact that we should have made things clearer.
We send your renewal invitation 14 days prior to your renewal date, for you to review and discuss your options before the renewal went through.
I’m also sorry that you felt you had to let the auto-renewal run under the assumption it was purely due to your previous claim. We never want anyone to feel they can’t query or challenge a price with us.
If you’re happy to, we’d really like the chance to review your policy history and the pricing decisions in more detail. Please contact our team with your policy number and details of your review so we can look into this properly and explain what’s happened, as well as learn from it.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
Kind regards
Lauren

Good progress information and handled quickly. This was my first claim on 7.5 year old dog and i hadnt read the small print about 15% deduction for 'old' dogs. Hence sum covered was less than i thought.

Hi there
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback.
I’m really pleased to hear that you felt the claim was handled quickly and that you received good progress updates. I’m sorry, however, that the 15% co‑payment for older dogs came as a surprise to you and that the amount reimbursed was less than what you expected.
We do include this information in the Policy Terms and Conditions and advise this when you take out your policy; however, can appreciate that this was missed and its come as a shock to you when making a first claim. Your comments are really helpful and we’ll use them to look at how we can make this type of detail clearer upfront.
If you’d like us to go through your policy and the claim breakdown with you in more detail, we’d be very happy to do so.
Kind regards

AWFUL AND AGGRESSIVE EXPERIENCE!!!
AWFUL AND AGGRESSIVE EXPERIENCE!!!
I’ve been a loyal customer of this pet insurance company for over 2.5 years, always paying on time and acting in good faith, but my recent experience has been so shocking. I called to inform them of a temporary situation due to a foot injury. I explained that my dog MIGHT possibly be out of my care for up to six months, but this was not confirmed — and in reality, my dog has only been out of my care for a few weeks.
Despite this, the representative I spoke to immediately told me my policy was invalid and that it had to be cancelled. This was based on a hypothetical situation, not the actual facts. He had been out of my care for 2-3 weeks while sorting everything out.
What made this even worse was the way I was treated on the call. The man was aggressive, dismissive, and didn’t allow me to properly explain my situation. There was no empathy or professionalism whatsoever - he literally kept pushing I have to cancel, I have to cancel.
To cancel a policy effective and immediately I’ve held and paid into for over 2.5 years based on an assumption is completely unreasonable and unfair. This should be illegal, and I'll be writing a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman.
I would strongly caution others when dealing with this company, particularly if you ever need support or flexibility — this experience has been incredibly stressful and disappointing.

Hi Danielle,
I’m so sorry to read about your recent experience and how it has made you feel - especially after being with us for over 2.5 years.
This is absolutely not the level of care, empathy or professionalism we want any of our customers to receive.
Thank you for taking the time to share what happened. I completely understand how upsetting and stressful this must have been for you, particularly when you were just trying to explain a temporary change in your circumstances.
I want to reassure you that we will take your feedback extremely seriously. I will arrange for a full investigation into the call you’ve described, including how the conversation was handled and the decision that was communicated to you. We will review the call recording, the notes on your policy and the actions taken, to understand exactly what has happened and where we have fallen short.
Once this investigation is complete, we will come back to you with a detailed response and next steps.
In the meantime, I’m very sorry that this has been your experience with us - it is not the standard we aim to provide, and I appreciate you giving us the opportunity to look into this properly.
If you’d like to discuss this further or share any additional details, please feel free to contact us and we’ll be more than happy to help.
Kind regards,
Lauren

Fantastic!
I was initially sceptical about choosing a smaller insurance company, but I’m very glad I did. After a recent vet claim, 4Paws handled everything quickly and smoothly (from the first enquiry to payout in around a week) keeping me updated every step of the way. Their personal service really sets them apart from larger insurers. I would highly recommend them.

Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback, and I am sorry to hear this claim journey felt frustrating, especially at what was clearly a very worrying time for you.
We do aim to process all claims within 10 working days, provided we have received all the information needed to assess them. In this case, we were able to see that some information was missing, which did delay the claim being processed. Once all of the required information had been received, both claims were processed within a reasonable timeframe.
I also appreciate your comments regarding the claim form and the communication you received. I am afraid I cannot comment on external processes or why the claim form had not been received when expected, however I can confirm that once all information was with us, the claims were reviewed and settled as promptly as possible.
I am also sorry for the upset caused by the letter you mentioned. I completely understand why that would have been distressing, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for being a long-standing customer.
Kind regards

Prices start reasonably but then go up rapidly!
I have just got my renewal through for my 7 year old, £250 a month for £7000 of cover with a £105 excess AND 15% contribution! They started out as an affordable company but the increases every year are extortionate and not in line with other companies. However you get stuck once you have a pre existing condition. I would advise to stay clear and research the insurance premiums when you get a new puppy, I wish I had! For context this is the first time we have ever had a claim and last year even with no conditions or claims it was still £90 a month!
I would also note that most positive reviews are 'invited' or not saying their specific claim, which makes me feel like these were chosen or false reviews. I'm saddened to see lots of similar experiences to mine on here.

Good afternoon Sarah,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sorry to hear how disappointed you are with the cost of your renewal.
I completely understand your frustration, especially when premiums have increased so significantly over time. We appreciate that this can be particularly difficult when your pet has developed pre-existing conditions, as this can make it harder to consider alternative cover elsewhere.
Renewal prices are based on a range of factors, which can include your pet’s age, breed, claims history, veterinary fee trends and the overall cost of providing cover. We do understand, however, that this does not make the increase any less upsetting when it has such a noticeable impact on affordability.
I am also sorry to hear your concerns regarding reviews. We value all customer feedback, whether positive or negative, as it helps us understand where we are doing well and where we need to improve.
If you would like us to look into your policy and renewal in more detail, please contact our team directly on 01423 535040 with your policy details so we can review this with you fully.
Kind regards

Really happy with 4Paws
We’ve been with 4paws for years. The staff I’ve spoken to have always been really friendly. My little dog is going through chemo at present so we’ve got continuous ongoing claims, we’re always kept updated with the process of claims and they are very prompt in settling so we don’t have too long to wait for our money back. Really impressed with the service.

Second time of using them and happy
Second time of using them.
I used this company for my labrador and I found them to be better than expected (I was dreading having to deal with a pet insurance company when the time came)
My dog did only require a minor op when she was 9 and then help re her passing. But both times I found them easy to get hold of / actually friendly / and really straight forward and easy to deal with. The reimbursement payment was made within days.
Then today I spoke with Dan (who I recognised his voice and very professional and very helpful being from my earlier correspondence) when booking in my new dog’s insurance. I was able to understand and be happy with everything that I was being told and feeling confident in proceeding ahead with the policy. So thank you Dan !
