Then she got ill again, firstly you sent me a letter saying' we are sorry you lost her, i can assure you she is very much alive and then denued being sent the claim, which my vet had sent.
You did pay tbe majority of the amount but... What a faff

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 !

AVOID: A truly terrible pet insurance company
A truly terrible pet insurance company. They will find absolutely any reason not to pay a claim even if its contrary to evidence provided to them by your vet.
More fool me for staying with them after the first claim was denied I suppose, but I'll be severing my contract. I've come to the conclusion that I cannot rely on them and that's the bare minimum I ask for in exchange for my monthly fees (which by the way has gone up from a competitive rate to an exorbitant one - taking advantage of an aging cat on a 'for life' policy). At least I know where I stand with a credit card.
If you're looking to start a policy with them, AVOID, as I say literally a credit card would be preferable to letting them rinse you in your time of need. A truly money hungry and heartless operation.
There are lots of genuinely good pet insurance companies out there - try them instead, I wish I had.
[edit: they have replied so that they can 'look into this further' - I have already been forced to make a complaint (which is basically their appeals system) which has been upheld with opaque reasoning which I am still asking for clarity on. It has taken months to get any clear reason for why they won't pay the claim and I can only presume they are waiting for me to just give up. Do not believe their faux concern in response to low reviews here, it is all performative]

Hi
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, although I’m very sorry to read how disappointed you feel with both your claims experience and the increase in your premium. This is absolutely not the experience we want for any of our customers.
We understand how worrying it is when a pet is unwell, and it’s very important to us that our decisions are fair, clearly explained and based on the clinical evidence we receive from your vet and the terms of your policy.
I’m sorry if this hasn’t been clear or has felt at odds with what you were expecting.
I’d really like to review your case in detail so we can:
Re-check the claim decisions and the clinical information we have received;
Make sure our reasoning has been explained properly; and
See if there is anything further we can do to help or clarify.
As I can’t discuss personal details here, please contact us via petclaims@4paws.com with your policy number and a note referencing this review, and ask for your case to be reviewed by a senior member of the team.
We’ll then look into this as a priority and come back to you with a full explanation.
Once again, I’m very sorry that you’ve been left feeling this way, and thank you for giving us the opportunity to look into it further.
Kind regards

Reassuring staff who genuinely care about your pet
I have been with 4 paws for 5 years, never made a claim before but Ruby has recently been diagnosed with a spinal issue and needs major surgery. I called, worried, expecting a robot. I got through to Jane who explained how to make a claim and discussed something called a pre authorisation for Ruby's planned surgery. Everything was really well explained and Jane even said she was happy to go through all the information again. Really refreshing to hear and I could tell she genuinely cared about my dog. 4 Paws thank you its really put my mind at ease during a worrying time.

They don't reply. Took 3 months to resolve and still not resolved
This feedback is written with deep frustration with the service provided by 4Paws before and after my claim.
The claim itself took 3 months to resolve and sadly between this, no empathy or care was shown. While 4paws have admitted they provided unprofessional and inappropriate emails about the claim, they once again keep a customer in complete darkness when a reply is sent back.
Following a negative review left by my wife regarding the distressing claim situation, we were contacted straight away by a representative (Lauren) who is a team leader who appeared keen to resolve the matter and regain our trust.
However, after we responded to her request for further information and clarity we have once again been met with total radio silence and I have now sent four emails to Lauren directly with no reply.
It is highly unprofessional to offer a public apology and an invitation to discuss a claim further, only to ignore the subsequent correspondence. This "damage control" approach without any actual follow-up has only added to the stress of an already difficult situation.
I expected a higher standard of customer care and transparency.
At this stage, I cannot recommend 4Paws to any pet owner who expects reliable communication and professional conduct.

AVOID this company
My dog had a straight forward injury that required an operation. They keep asking questions not related to this and making untrue accusations and making us feel like we have lied. They are just dragging it out and finding ways not to pay out. They are rude and unhelpful and don't care about the stress inflicted. We have been honest and up front from the day we took the policy but they make out you haven't documented certain things. It should not be this hard, in which is steady a stressful situation

Hi there
Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to leave a review.
We’re really sorry to hear how unhappy you are with your renewal price and that you feel let down. That’s never the experience we want for our customers.
Premiums can increase for several reasons, including claims history, changes in your pet’s age, their breed and wider market factors, such as rising veterinary costs. However, we understand that a large increase can be both very worrying and frustrating.
We’d like to review your policy in detail so we can explain exactly what has driven the change in your premium and check whether there are any other suitable options that may be available to you. As we can’t discuss personal policy information on a public forum, please contact us on 01423 535040 and we’ll be happy to further discuss this with you. Thank you again for contacting us and we’d greatly appreciate the chance to put things right where we can.
