Poor practises

Policies are renewed automatically without a quote being sent beforehand with an option to opt out.

Good afternoon Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Renewal quotes are usually generated and sent out at least 21 days before the renewal start date. This may have gone to your spam/junk folder.

I can see that you have spoken with an agent via email, and you have now cancelled your policy with us. We are sorry to see you go,

Kind regards,
Michele.

Awful, scammers.

Refused to pay out a claim despite having a lengthy live chat where they agreed to cover the costs.

3 years of paying for insurance to finally make a claim and they refuse to pay. Disgusting.

My dog needed ops on both eyes

My dog needed ops on both eyes, and the costs for specialist ophthalmic surgery were more than I could afford, but Petgevity came up trumps by agreeing to meet the vet bills, and I am so very grateful that they did.

Just all so easy

Just all so easy . Email informing time to renew , then just carry on paying 👍 increase every year but so much less than competitors. Knowing my pet is covered for all emergencies is great.

Huge premium increase.

Despite no claims, premium went up by over 30% at renewal ☹️

Good afternoon Jason,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry to hear your renewal price is not what you were looking for. I can see that your policy has been auto-renewed.

Premiums can increase at renewal for a few reasons. As pets get older, the risk of illness or injury tends to rise, which can affect the cost of cover. If you've made a claim, that can also impact your premium. Additionally, vet fees and treatment costs are rising across the industry, and these increases affect all policyholders — not just individual cases. Our prices are also regularly reviewed to remain competitive, but factors such as government tax changes, increased treatment and medication costs, and overall veterinary inflation have made it necessary to adjust our pricing to stay sustainable.

That said, we can also look at options to help reduce your premium, such as increasing the excess or bill share, or lowering the vet fee cover.

If you want to discuss your renewal options further, please call our customer service team on 0333 006 3211, email info@petgevity.co.uk or start a live chat with us via your online account or our website www.petgevity.co.uk

Kind regards,
Michele.

I’ve just joined with a new rescue dog

I’ve just joined with a new rescue dog. I’ve never had pet insurance before but spent so much on our old much loved dog. Yours sounded best because there was not hidden costs of it suddenly going up, this made a big difference to me thank you.

We did not renew with you for this year…

We did not renew with you for this year as you had doubled your premium so we went to another provider. We told you that we were not renewing yet here we are on the day of renewal having now to tell you again that we are not renewing

Good afternoon Bridgette,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that you did not want to renew your policy with us. I can see that your policy auto-renewed today, as the opt out of auto-renewal option had not been actioned due to an agent you had spoken to, waiting on a reply to see if you wanted to explore any options to help reduce your premium, such as increasing the excess or lowering the vet fee cover. .
