Applying for Pet policy online, you should be able to assess if Private health insurance will provide a policy discount.

published

I took out a pet policy online during COVID19 crisis. Will Real now assess if my Private Health insurance can access a discount on my pet insurance and apply it?

Highly recommended - easy to use and friendly service

published

I have just signed up for my fourth doggie insurance policy with Real Pet Insurance. Experience has demonstrated that the insurance is worth every cent in premiums to provide adequate care for my dogs often at short notice when the unexpected happens. Real Pet Insurance are very friendly and easy to deal with. They answer all of my questions clearly and the online claim facility is so easy to use. I am very happy with this service, and recommend it to people who are looking to insure their pets.

Going with RPI was the biggest mistake I ever made for my pet care!

published

Policy is of next to no value. Discussions leading up to me taking out the policy with RPI were total nonsense! They've not covered what I needed & what I was supposed to be covered for and I pay well in excess of $100 per month for one pet. Pet insurance (with this provider anyway) is totally not worth it - total scam!

Always a terrible service

published

Terrible communications between people I speak to, messed around so many times. If my dog was younger I’d change insurers but they started stuffing me around with claims 3 years ago when he was already getting too old to change. After being with them and paying a hefty premium for 7 years!

Terrible company, complete rip off.

published

I paid this company $90/month to insure my dog for about two years. During that time she had various minor incidents, as dogs do. They rejected all my claims but one very small claim for a eye ulcer. I realised that I am getting nothing from them at all. So I contacted them to try and cancel and they told me I am obligated to pay them till the end of the claim period. So because they gave me like $200 in a 2 year period (during which time I have paid them like $2000) I now have to pay them another $300 for the privilege of being allowed to cancel. I wonder how things like this can be legal.

Sad time, compassionate and caring service

published

We recently lost our beautiful little furbaby after he was attacked by another dog who escaped his muzzle. 2 surgeries and we had to make the decision to put our boy to sleep. Our vet hospital put the claim into Real on our behalf. Within a very short period of time we were reimbursed 80% of all our costs, no questions, no fuss. I did have a couple of conversations with Real at which time they were compassionate and caring. Can't recommend them highly enough. We adopted Russo at 9 and insured his straight away but due to age he could only have limited cover.

Garbage, doing everything possible to avoid claims! avoid!

published

Horrible first experience with a pet insurance company.
detailing false information regarding a claim, advising a condition was pre existing when it clearly wasn't, won't respond to emails and now they will take 10-15 days to get back to be involving a review, ONLY, only after I pushed back many times, what an absolute joke.
REAL will be paying my claim, I will be pushing with the ombudsman and further, so they better get back to me asap, will never go back.

Once again this just shows how disconnected you are with your customer base . This is NOT an answer to my question . I have supplied you with the details you are asking for but it didnt help me or my Pet . I no longer have a policy with you and will NEVER again . You have allready KILLED my beloved pet . I am asking this to help others make an informed decision and your uncareing responce should be enough for most ?
