3/10   Doesn't take much to become a 'risk', 5/28/2010

Reviewed By: Steve, Recommend: N

We've had Petsecure insurance for a year and submitted claims for two emergency surgeries (foreign object ingestion) and a skin condition that has actually now started to clear up. Our Great Dane is now over a year old and things seem to be settling out in a sense. However, upon the semi-annual 'risk review', we were thrown into the high risk group and were dropped from 80% coverage to 50%. In their letters to customers, Petsecure likes to promote their showcase examples of 'top claim' high payouts, but those are all single case scenarios. The company is very good at quick claim processing and will rapidly approve and pay initial or periodic claims; we were initially very happy with Petsecure. Rest assured if you submit more than a couple of claims, you too will quickly become a risk to their profits...and their shareholders. We are now disappointed in Petsecure, and are shopping around for a different company that won't penalize their customers for accessing benefits.

1/10   Incredibly Upset, 5/27/2010

Reviewed By: katie, Recommend: N

Similar to other posters I received a letter yesterday notifying me that my co-insurance would be bumped to 70% because I have made too many claims in the last little while.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Pet secure prides themselves on their "Secure for Life Guarantee" which states "we promise to our customers that their pet will never run out of coverage and that their pet's premiums won't rise. we also guarantee that as long as you remain a petsecure member you can continue to maintain your pet's existing coverage year after year after year,"
According to this my coverage should stay at 80% should it not?
I got pet insurance to protect myself and my dog in the event of unforeseen emergencies. Now that I have had to make use of it I am being penalized.

10/10   I love Petsecure!, 5/13/2010

Reviewed By: Bronwyn, Recommend: Y

Both of my Bernese Mountain Dogs are secured with Petsecure as well as my Siberian Cat. I would never use a different insurance company as Petsecure has always gone above and beyond for me.

Wylie has a slew of congenital defects and every claim that I've submitted has been processed efficiently and there have never been any questions.

Bentley was a rescue and came to em at 3 years old. Petsecure insured him right away and there have been no issues yet - thank goodness!

I have Secure 4 for both dogs, which includes preventative health (exams, blood work, fecals, sentinel etc) and I think it's definitely worth every penny and my peace of mind.

Thanks Petsecure!
