Was so easy
Was so easy. I downloaded the form, filled it in, gave it to the vets practice, who did their bit & submitted it to 4Paws. Next thing I knew, claim submitted, reviewed and paid out in full within 2 weeks. No quibbles, no questions, no wriggling out of it on a technicality. Very pleased with the experience.

Warning to all pet owners looking for pet insurance from this company. They don't cover any issues with malocclusion which can be as many as 35% of puppies. Avoid this company for insurance as it will cost you a lot of money, there are much better options

Good morning Martin
Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding malocclusion coverage. We understand how important it is for pet owners to have clarity on what is and isn’t included in their insurance policy.
Our policies are designed to be as transparent as possible, and we always encourage customers to review the Terms and Conditions carefully to ensure the cover meets their needs.
Malocclusion, or misalignment of teeth in dogs, is often present from a very young age and can be identified as early as when the baby teeth erupt or as the adult teeth come in, typically between 4.5 and 6 months of age. Because malocclusion is frequently a congenital or pre-existing condition, it is not covered under most pet insurance policies. This approach is standard across the insurance industry, as policies generally exclude conditions that are present before the start of cover or that are considered hereditary. This ensures that insurance remains sustainable and fair for all policyholders.
If you have any questions about specific conditions or would like to discuss your options further, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team. We are here to help you make the best choice for your pet’s health and wellbeing.
Kind regards

I make a claim for may cat gone missing, providing everything they ask for ,everything ok from my side then recive an email telling me that they have an IT issue and the claim can't be processed. After 4 week from the email with the "IT issue" what they can't explain exactly what the issue is, they ask me if I want to put a complaint in, for me to be able to do something else i have to wait another 8 weeks untill the complaint it's complet. An absolutely joke. This company shouldn't be on the market.

expensive renewal…
I had looked at renewal with no past claims, but the renewal cost was substantially more than the current policy. I responded to the renewal notice but the reply was long winded with little substance, they also had an incorrect pet name for my dog. I looked on the compare sites and their prices were much less than what they were quoting for renewal.

Terrible insurance policies

They aren't.

Avoid like the plague
Their claims process is manual and outdated. Having to print and physically complete a claims form in 2025 is just insanely lazy and incompetent from all who run the group. They're also shockingly poor value for money. I got offered 5x the coverage for £2 a month less than they offered once I shopped around.
The form is also incredibly poorly worded and unclear. They made a payment directly to my vet instead of me claiming I had approved it on my form. Having reviewed the form, however, there was no wording indicating where a payment should be sent, only two check boxes underneath a request for permission to contact the vet directly for information. This clearly reads as a request as to confirm whether the information requests can go directly to the vet or if they need to go via you as the payee.
Avoid like the plague. Speaking to the team to resolve they were absolute bellends.

Scam Insurance
Scam Insurance – A Complete Joke
This company is an absolute disaster. For the past two months, they’ve refused to reimburse any claims, blaming it on “missing vet information.” Meanwhile, my vet responded to their emails FOUR times – and they kept pretending nothing was received.
To make things even more ridiculous, they were asking for the full medical history of my dog… who is FOUR MONTHS OLD. What a fing joke.* How much history do they expect from a puppy?
They are dishonest, misleading, and completely unhelpful. They charge a 30% “processing fee” just to look at your claim, and then make it as hard as possible to ever get your money back. No transparency, no accountability – just red tape and runarounds.
This is not insurance – it’s a scam. Avoid this company at all costs. Seriously. Run.

Incredibly expensive for the type of cover. I’ve saved over £200 a month by moving my cover to another provider which gives much more cover to my dog. Be aware of their underwriters changing cover for breeds over the years and they will price you out of insurance. Customer of 7 years.

Good morning
I am sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the price we offered you to insure your pet with us for a further year.
We look at several factors when calculating renewal prices for our customers, including your pets age, breed, address, claims history and to take into consideration the cost of vet fees.
When you purchase cover and at every renewal, we provide you with your policy documents and Certificate of Insurance, this is for you to make sure the cover being offered continues to meet your needs. As pets get older, they can be more prone to suffer from conditions and we take this into consideration when pricing your policy each year.
I am sorry that we were unable to offer you a price you were happy and that we have lost you as a valued customer. We will be sure to feed your comments back to our pricing team and thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention.
Kind regards

Unfair and excessive deductions made…
Unfair and excessive deductions made from the total claim for our rabbit. The vet advised a probiotic and dental treatment to try to treat his gastrointestinal issues (which included anorexia) which were deemed medically necessary to alleviate suffering. We were also not covered for the necessary euthanasia. Considering the rabbit's insurance premium *more than doubled to over £40/month in the space of a couple of years*, this is poor service and cover for the price we paid. At least the guy on the phone explained all this with empathy. Won't be insuring with you ever again. PetPlan are a better cover for a better premium.

Called up to discuss a renewal and the switch into sales mode was crazy. Felt like the tactics being used were very pushy - so much so the rep I spoke to couldn't even hear me over the sound of his spiel.
If I say I want to go, let me go. Don't need you lecturing me on the risk of taking out a new policy with a different provider then trying to sell me a new policy with 4Paws. The renewal went up 30% and no longer represented value that I can get elsewhere. Feels like a price gauge.
If you handled it with some empathy, I might have been convinced but the pushiness actually worked against you here.
