Premium increased almost 200% in two years then difficulty cancelling. Premium increased from £17 a month, to £31 and then to £51. When I provided my policy number and indicated that I wished to cancel the policy they refused to do so without the email address I had provided two years ago. They assured me that I would receive a phone call to address the issue which wasn't forthcoming. I had to cancel the direct debit.

Phoned 4 paws to make sure my dogs… Phoned 4 paws to make sure my dogs treatment was covered and I asked as it was an ongoing problem once the vet had finished the treatment then could we make a claim ,as it turned out I was nearing the end of first year and they processed a claim without my consent and paid out £1.27 which was what was left of the vet bill after they took there excess .and then was told if I wanted to claim again as it was a new year I would have to pay another years excess .

DO NOT use 4 Paws pet insurance DO NOT take out pet insurance using this company! They completely ignored the information provided by my vet about the date something happened and then tried to do some dodgy maths saying that it had happened before the date it actually did. Then they sent a follow up email saying either way they weren't paying out. It was very rude and basically refused to look further into the details and just outright denied our claim. (Which the vet assured us would be covered on insurance). They still haven't paid out and it has cost us nearly £1000 for sh-ite insurance and the treatment. Could have saved myself £300 if I had just paid outright for the treatment rather than throwing it away on insurance which apparently wont cover anything. Many people had told me not to bothered getting pet insurance because it is always crap, but I wanted to be covered from when we first got out kitten so he would be covered for his whole life... My advice to people considering pet insurance, DON'T especially if you are thinking about using 4 Paws.

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!!!

WOW - Look at their first 11 reviews!!! I unfortunately have just signed up with 4Paws before reading Trustpilot. Sign up process was very poor and in the end I had to waste time doing it laboriously by phone due to faults on their site. Only now (too late) I look at the reviews here only to find: - Their first 11 reviews were all within one month - All were 5 stars - All were from USA "customers" (none from UK) - All were first time reviewers - Then 5 clear months with no reviews whatsoever - Since then: five 1*, one 2* and only one x 5* - All but one of these subsequent reviews were from UK I leave others to decide how to judge these amazing coincidences. My review thus far is based only on my poor personal experience of sign-up and I shall update as appropriate....
