A Scam
They will charge you inordinate monthly amounts for comprehensive insurance but will not pay anything out unless they get a full clinical history from birth. I brought my pup to UK from Portugal and they haven't been able to contact vet from when we were there so they have closed my claim. The issue happened here in UK (very obviously), but they for some reason need the clinical history from 10 years ago that has nothing to do with her present condition.
They have taken thousands from me for the past few years on an empty promise. This was the only claim I have ever made because she needed surgery and they are refusing to support.
An absolute scam of a company.

Hello Michael,
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to provide us with this amazing feedback!
Regarding the premiums costs - prices are likely to gradually rise over the years – we do consider Mowgli’s claims history and health when we calculate the costs of your premiums. We also use lots of other rating factors like your pet’s breed, age, or the costs of vet fees in the area you and Mowgli live.
If you do require anything further, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We hope Mowgli is doing well.
Kind Regards,

Woeful experience - Stay away
Very misleading company who do not make the policy start date clear when taking out a policy. This will sting those who unfortunately need to make an unforeseen claim early during the policy.

Hi there
Thank you so much for your comments and I am so sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service you received from us.
During the online sales journey, we aim to be as clear as possible with our customers.
At the start of the online journey, we ask you to choose a policy start date that you'd like the to start from (this can be up to 30 days in advance). We also confirm that cover will start on the date you have selected at 00:01 hours unless you have selected your policy to start that same day, in which case cover will start as soon as you have successfully purchased cover. Any claims for illness are excluded in the first 14 days of cover and cover is for a period of 12 months unless otherwise stated.
Before purchasing cover, we also provide our customers with significant limitations of cover, so you can be sure that the cover you have chosen meets your demands and needs. Within these limitations, you are notified that there is no cover for injuries within the first 24 hours or illness within the first 14 days from your chosen start date. From here, you are then asked if you are happy to proceed purchasing cover with us.
I am sorry that we have been unable to assist you with your claim on this occasion and that you felt the information provided was misleading. I do hope that we are given the opportunity to restore your faith in us.
Kind regards
Craig

AVOID
Be careful of this company, their Insurance Product Information Document (IPID), which is the simplified red and green terms most customers use (as summarises your cover), isn’t actually a reflection of their real terms and is a false representation of your cover.
Refused to pay despite the Insurance Product Information Document saying you had 12 months to have recommended dental carried out, hidden in the 32 page terms it’s actually 3 months.
My dog had a wobbly tooth which wasn’t bothering him, agreed with the vet that we would watch and wait to see if it fell out naturally as it’s a short nosed breed and his teeth are otherwise well looked after to avoid the risks associated with general anaesthetic and I checked the Insurance Product Information Document which said it needed to be done within 12 months. In the end the tooth hadn’t fallen out after a few months so I had the vet remove it. To my surprise they refused to pay, as it was more than 3 months which was hidden in their lengthy terms. This is despite me calling years before, as I was changing insurer and the renewals team convincing me to stay despite it being more expensive, because they had the best dental cover. The vet has said most insurers cover up to 12 months not 3, 3 months is unusual, so this was also misleading. I insure two dogs with them (the claim is less than the cost of 1 of the dogs yearly premium) I have never claimed anything for either dog. I think that they deliberately mislead their customers and will be taking this to the FOS, as their Insurance Product Information Document which is what you use to compare insurance products and understand your insurance isn’t a true reflection of your cover.
Throughout the process at every time they were looking to get out of paying.
Delay, Deny, Defend.
I now have to go through an 8 weeks complaint process before I can go to the FOS. I’m chronically unwell and could do without this and it was unreasonable of them to expect me to read through 32 pages of tiny print to check that their IPID was consistent. They treat customers unfairly.
Your response doesn’t explain why your IPID document differs from your real terms and conditions? The IPID was sent along side the Terms and conditions and is supposed to summarise them.
‘ Costs of dental treatment carried out 12 months or more after the
recommendation of treatment from a vet.’
Why are they different and always sent alongside the TofC’s to deliberately mislead customers. Please also remove my personal information from your response. I haven’t given you permission to share personal data.
The vet explained why it wasn’t completed immediately.
UPDATE: Financial Ombudsman agreed with my complaint and that they treated me unfairly and misled with their information. They have been instructed to pay! Sad they make you go through this just to get them to play fair.
FOS COMMENTS:
Regulations known as Consumer Duty have recently come into effect and one of the cross-cutting rules is that firms should enable their customers to pursue their financial objectives. Put simply firms should allow their customers to enjoy use of their product without any unreasonable barriers. By unfairly rejecting the claim, I don’t feel Covea have adhered to this. The Insurance Conduct of Business (ICOB) Sourcebook also states insurers shouldn’t unreasonably reject a claim.
As part of these regulations, firms are also expected to ensure consumers are equipped to make good decisions and that information is made available at the right time and is understandable. I feel the contradictory IPID and policy wording highlights that Covea haven’t adhered to this.

Hello
Thank you for your feedback and we’re sorry to hear about your bad experience.
Decisions regarding claims assessment are made based on the Terms & Conditions of your Policy, which is always sent to you at each renewal of your policy, so have enough time to review them. We make it explicitly clear at new business and renewal each year; it is your responsibility for you to read your Policy Terms and Conditions fully and should you have any questions, we invite you to contact us to discuss these further.
Please allow me to refer you to your Policy Terms and Conditions:
GENERAL CONDITIONS WHICH APPLY TO THE WHOLE POLICY (page 12):
Preventative care and following veterinary advice
7. You must ensure that following a dental examination, any treatment recommended is carried out within 3 months of the examination taking place, unless your vet can provide medical evidence as to why this did not happen.
Whilst I appreciate you may be dissatisfied with the outcome of your claim; to treat all of our customers fairly, we must assess all claims in line with the Policy Terms and Conditions.
We understand that you’ve already contacted the Complaints Team and raised a complaint. I can confirm The Complaints Team will review Gizmo’s Policy in full and respond to you once they have completed a full complaint investigation.
Thank you again for taking the time to leave us this feedback and I apologise our claim decision was not what you hoped for.
Kind regards

Had to cancel due to the ridiculous renewal costs
We started this insurance as Aviva years ago. When my dog needed surgery on her legs the insurance only went up around £100.
When Aviva stopped doing pet insurance we got moved to 4 Paws. (We were on a lifetime insurance, so we had to stay) since being with 4 paws the insurance has shot up year upon year.
We have just had our renewal through and the cost has just jumped up by £650 and the insurance is close to £2,000. We have now been priced out of insuring my dog.

Puzzled and frustrated
For some reason they refused to insure my healthy terrier cross with no explanation as to why. Particularly frustrating as my employer gives discount for 4Paws. As Pet Plan has always given good service I guess I will be going there.

Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback.
I am very sorry to hear that you were not happy with the service that we provided. Due to the criteria that we receive from our underwriters, there are sadly some pets that we are unable to offer cover for. This includes a number of different breeds and crosses, and also any dogs over the age of 8 or cats over the age of 10.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Excellent pet insurance & amazing staff
So pleased with this pet insurance company. They have been amazing with authorising claims which recently I've had a few of due to a couple of unexpected problems. They have communicated directly with my vets, kept me informed of every step via email and text messages, and phone calls. They provide a really personal and attentive service and on the day of Bella's surgery they called and wished her well, along with an update. They had also pre-authorised 2 claims within 2 working days. Thank you so much to all the team for being so lovely, caring and efficient. Hadn't heard of 4Paws before so wasn't really sure, but couldn't be more pleased with my choice. Hopefully won't need to claim again for a long time!
