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.

published

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.

dodgy insurance

published

very easy to set up. i do not believe it is good value, they are trying to get out of paying a legitimate claim. I am not happy and i will be changing insurers in the near future.

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.

Claims Process

published

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.

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeasy

From the first helpful phone call to the refund, the process was extremely easy. After the the claim was submitted an email was received thus knowing that everything was in process. Then....voila... money back and all was settled.

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.

Great cover and customer service

published

Super easy to set up and make a claim and good value for money. It took roughly two weeks from making a claim to having the money being reimbursed and updates were easy to get.

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.

Very disappointed with extremely poor claims process

published

My policy was very easy to set up but I do not believe it is good value.
My policy commenced in June 2022 and I lodged a claim in September 2022, it is now the end of December and it still has not been settled. I am continually being asked to provide more and more documents which I consider to be a stalling strategy.

Extremely pleasant experience

published

From day one Guide Dogs Pet Insurance has been great to deal with, quick with refunds and very helpful. We suffered a sudden loss of our 10 month old puppy and they refunded more than we expected from two emergency vets. They also went ahead and cancelled our policy for us so we didnt have to make that phone call. They also included their deepest sympathies on our loss which I thought was a lovely thing to do. Recommend them highly, but I recommend to get insurance THE MINUTE you bring a puppy home.

Things need to change!

published

Policy is good. I have made claims and got what was stated. Although it took a long time..website is very hard to use and very glitchy. Customer service people are all foreigners and extremely hard to understand and don't know what you are asking so takes a huge amount of time getting answers to queries. Not happy with that part at all!

Still not sure.

Average value. Several errors on certificate of insurance, entered correct details online and advised over phone several times. On review thinking of canceling for older dog as covers nothing needed.

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.
