Not overly happy

published

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.

Great Service

published

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.

complicated slow and unhappy

It seems a culture of sitting on a claim then finally send a letter in the post to say we need more information to process claim is acceptable. It's not.
No breakdown of claims when finally settled is very frustrating.

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.

The policy is good value and set up was easy as it occurred over the phone.
Claims are processed quite quickly once lodged.
We have been insured for nearly two years and have not had any issues.

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.

I wanted to support the guidedogs and found the switch to their insurance easy. Oz was very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had. I had reviewed them first and found the pricing very reasonable.

Customer is pretty good and claims went through with no dramas at all. I'm happy to be a customer.

published

Setup of the policy was easy enough. A slight technical issue with an automated email generation post setup but this was quickly resolved with a customer service phone call.
Had no issues making a claim. It was a simple process to upload relevant documents and the claim was approved in a reasonable amount of time.
Thank you for making your service pain free and simple enough to use.

Not a good start

published

I sent in a form completed by my puppies vet regarding her knee joints to qualify for a waiver should she require joint surgery prior to having pet insurance for 6 months. I sent the form in the post within 14 days of the examination but received a letter to say the waiver form was not accepted as they received the form 5 business days after I sent it and to reapply I would need to visit the vet to complete the examination again, at my own cost. There is nothing wrong with my puppies joints BUT for a first experience with Guide Dog Pet Insurance ( Hollard underwriters) it was very disappointing how rigid they were.

Haley was a great help.

Not able to provide a review of the insurance due to not using it yet. This survey is a bit odd due to receiving these questions the first day after signing up.

As a newby to pet insurance setting up a policy was easy, the call centre assistant was able to explain the policy in laymen's terms. I felt the premiums were very competitive.

Hopefully funds go to a worthy cause such as the Guide Dogs

published

The policy appears good value for money, to the point whereby I have also transferred my other dog over as this policy offers better value and gives discount for adding an additional pet.
