Whoops, why did I get insurance with these? Whoops! Now, I've done it. I got pet insurance through 4Paws and didn't spend enough time reading reviews. Here's the true story: After waiting 5 weeks, sending 2 emails of complaint in that time and having three long-winded phone calls with staff who seemed very unsure of their job (but always seem to work in an office where nobody is actually in charge 'there are no managers in today') we finally -after 5 weeks - had our claim settled. Awful service. I dread to think what they will do to my premiums now I have claimed. Avoid this company like the plague.

STILL WAITING FOR A CLAIM STILL WAITING FOR A CLAIM! We submitted a claim 4 weeks ago and still waiting for the claim, with little communication. They stated 2 weeks inc fast settlements- we have submitted 3 claims and I can tell you this is not the case. Me and my wife have £2000 sitting on our credit card and are going to miss payments and incur cards, so this is why we are deeply annoyed. Avoid!!!

Buyer Beware I'm writing this review to warn other pet owners about our experience with with 4PAWS. We purchased a policy for our beloved Maltipoo Toby, believing it would provide financial security in case of unexpected illness. Unfortunately, that turned out not to be the case. Toby was sick once and had diarrhea which was the main issue in August 2023. We promptly took them to the vet, who diagnosed a bug with anti-biotics and a pro-biotic to settle his stomach, Toby made a full recovery and showed no further signs of the condition and was never prescribed any conditions and illness. Reassured, we continued with switching our pet insurance policy to 4Paws. Fast forward to recently, when Toby experienced a completely new illness in December 2013, vomiting regularly with blood and no diarrhea . We submitted a claim, confident our insurance would help. However, to our utter disappointment, 4PAWS denied the claim! Their justification? They classified Toby vomiting once in August 2023 as a pre-existing condition, despite the vet's documentation of a full recovery, recommendation that it was not linked due to no recurring symptoms and that medication worked which hasn't to date.The original condition was successfully treated and wasn't a chronic issue. Now, we're facing a significant vet bill for a completely unrelated illness. Their customer service has been unhelpful, slow and impersonal throughout this ordeal. We feel completely let down by a company that supposedly cares about pets. If you're looking for pet insurance that will actually cover you, avoid 4 Paws at all costs! Look for a company with a clear and transparent policy on pre-existing conditions, and one that prioritizes customer service. Don't make the same mistake we did.

Same Old Story They Tried To Treat Me With Contempt!! I hoped this lot might be different. Sadly NOT!! They took nearly £500 from me in the first year with no claims from me and yet they increase my premium. I cancelled and so in my opinion should anyone if they try this on!!. Only voting with our feet will companies like this stop ripping us all off!! I despair of this appalling rip off society I believe companies like this represent.

Don't use this company Although the women assistants I dealt with were lovely the company itself is awful and rejects your insurance claim for spurious reasons. I was told by my vet practice that this company are known to be difficult and reject claims which other companies honour
