A really positive experience
I spoke to a lovely lady today, she was kind helpful, very well informed and supportive. She was extremely patient with me as I have a speech difficulty which was tough that day. This posed no problem to Sharon.She sorted my issues out swiftly and kindly. Many thanks.

Hi Diana,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
It's great to hear that once you spoke with our team, your query was handled politely and helpfully and everything was sorted for you.

We're currently experiencing a particularly busy period on our phone lines and are working hard to reduce our waiting times. We'll also take your comments about the hold messaging on board.
Thank you for choosing Royal Kennel Club Pet Insurance and for your patience.

Great Customer Service
It was nice to actually speak to a human. Jenny listened, understood what we were after and did everything that she could to assist us. We believe many companies are losing out on good customer service by turning everything to machines. Kennel Club please continue to have human contact. It’s so important.
