Great. It helps us make a good choice for our loved one, Reebok.

I believe the cover was good value. As Reebok gets older she needs more medication. We have been with Real for 10 years and are now seeing the real value of having pet insurance. Reebok has just turned 14.

Would not be without Pet Insurance now. Real has been so helpful and understanding with my dog. Thank you.

Have an Epileptic Dog and they have been amazing, in enabling me to have MRI and ongoing medication. I am able to simply ask my vet to send the receipt through without filling out forms.

Great Customer Service

published

Today I spoke to Rafael with regard to a claim I had submitted. Not only did she take the time to check my claim but she also rang me back to advise me she had expedited my claim and it was in the final stages of being settled. To me this was going over and beyond any service I could have expected and I would recommend this customer service officer to everyone.

Best Pet Insurance

published

Real Pet Insurance was worth every cent. Claims were processed with ease. Payments were received promptly. Communication was excellent at all times. I have no complaints at all and couldnt recommend them more highly. And the sensitivity with which the loss of our pets was handled was very much appreciated. Thank you.

I've been with Real Pet Insurance since my dog was a pup... she's 8 and a half now. It as easy to get cover and set up. I've found RPI very helpful and prompt with claims. I'd highly recommend RPI.

Excellent, gives peace of mind.

published

I am more than happy with my choice of Real Pet Insurance, it has provided me with the cover that I needed. They pay promptly and cover most of the bill up to your limits. Like all insurances it costs and may seem like a waste of money if you dont use it but it is fantastic when you unfortunately have to use it. My dog required four operations and they paid 80% of it. I was so happy that I was insured. It has paid for itself.

Very satisfied

published

Ive been with real pet insurance for a few years now, whilst we have never had to make a claim on one of our policies (and hope it stays that way) we have made numerous claims on our other pet and have had all his claims paid out.
we have great peace of mind having the two policies for our fur babies, knowing its there should they require special vet treatments.
The funds were paid back within a couple days and the pet portal is easy to use and submit claims.

Avoid them

published

This insurance company is a rip off....avoid them at all costs. We recently cancelled our policy due to leaving the country, but as we had a small claim in the last 6 months we have to pay for the remainder of the insurance period ie. 6 more months. Works out at double the rebate we got back on our claim. What a con! Expensive!

Fast easy claims service

published

With the high costs of Vet Bills and things that go wrong with animals these days I wouldn't be without it. The fact that you can lodge claims electronically and money comes through within a couple of days is excellent. I have never had any issues with lodging claims its simple and easy as long as you have all the correct paperwork from the Vet.

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 ?
