Nice to have such good protection

published

I was a little surprised at the time it took to process our claim, though it finally came through with no problems. It would be preferable to set up a direct credit into a nominated account as supposed to a cheque in the mail.

Comprehensive coverage, easy claiming process

published

We’ve found this insurance to be great so far. Getting started was easy, the claiming process was easy and our claim was processed quickly without fuss. Policy seems to cover many things for a reasonable premium

Offers great peace of mind.

After our dog required minor surgery, we had astronomical vet bills so decided Pet Insurance was a viable option. Guide Dogs Insurance was thorough and supported a very good cause.

Couldn't be happier!!

published

Best decision we have made! Insured our Labradoodle from the first day we brought her home. Discovered
within a few months that she was going to need monthly injections to treat an allergy. I couldn't believe how quick and easy the claims process was.

I found the process was rather long, constantly requesting information several times even though the information was sent. The person I spoke with after several emails did get the desired results.

A lot of work.

published

Staff are great.
Cannot contact for assistance after hours.
Ludicrous effort for first few claims.
Unable to resolve anything over the phone.
I feel they bend over backwards to not pay. I’m persistent though.

Awful service: keep sending cheque’s!

published

Very bad service. We have changed the portal to pay into account yet they keep paying by cheque. The time it takes for them to send the cheque is completely unreasonable. We have to follow up by email for something to happen. Now they say they they think our address has changed. It hasn’t but it seems to slow the claim down for them again so makes sense why they have asked it.

good return

published

The time it takes for the claim to be looked at is unreasonable my dog has had a bad trot this last three months with foure operations and still only has been paid out for two. verry hard to contact
your claims office by phone operators do not speak good English. I have thought about changing to another company.

Glad to have pet insurance

published

I found it was easy to claim. You get an acknowledgement after lodgment and next thing you know you are reimbursed as per your policy. Glad I had it when our Pip needed an operation in her first 12 months. You then get letters explaining what was covered and what wasn't. I think this could be done by email rather than post.

Not overly happy

I feel its overpriced for our two dogs. Increased premium massively since last year. Good to pay out claims. Not great on phone when I queried the increased premium. I will probably cancel soon

Easy, fair, peace of mind

Easy to lodge (our vet receptionist does it for us!) and prompt payment. Doug has had a fairly healthy first 12 months of his life, but it's great to know that when little things do go wrong (like he develops a limp and needs an x-ray) we don't have to hesitate based on cost.

This policy is great value, my vet lodged our claim, which was paid really quickly. If you have any queries the staff over the phone are very helpful and the bonus is that we are supporting guide dogs.

It has been easy to lodge claims as I can do this through my vet. It would be good for vaccines to also be covered given its the biggest expense.

Went to review and buy on line but got a polite but pushy sales follow up call

published

Happy with the product offering and pricing compared to others, plus prefer to support Guide Dogs. Was a bit disappointed by a unrequested call after just filling in info online to get a quote, the phone call was very polite but still with pushy hard sell tactics being used.
