Pleased With Service

We had our six month old female puppy spayed and her shots brought up-to-date. Even though we were not reimbursed the full amount of our claim for her Wellness Insurance, we were pleased with the amount that was reimbursed to us.

HORRIBLE

I pay over $350 a month for full coverage for 4 bulldog puppies, and everything is a struggle. I had a vet recommended cardiologist for one of them that cost $690, and they refuse to pay on any of it. I will be cancelling my policy.

Don't use this insurance

this insurance is shit and they scam you. all pet insurance does this. read the fine print. even the best rated ones will try to screw you. i signed up for the defender to cover exam fees and other wellness tests they totally fuck you on that too. look elsewhere or avoid insurance altogether.

Excellent Service! Friendly, kind and professional

I have been very impressed with the customer service people in the call center for PetPartners. In the past nine or ten years I have insured three pets -- two cats and my dog. Unfortunately, sadly, I have lost two of them and during their illnesses, Pet Partners customer service people have been very kind at difficult times. The people who I have spoken with seem to "not just have jobs," they are true animal lovers who have empathy and work to help you to understand your policy benefits and to do what they can to explain any steps you or your vet need to take. As with any policy, always read it carefully when selecting which coverage you want and consider (sorry...) worst case scenarios. And... check it periodically to see if you need to adjust it. I purchased the policies as soon as I brought my pet companions into my home. In my case they were kittens and a puppy. :D I absolutely give the people a 10. By the way, the people on the phone were terrific about follow through. The company was slow on processing a couple of claims -- but they were also quick to explain what additional information my vet needed to submit once I contacted them about the delay. So the delay is the reason I will give them a slightly lower rating.

Awesome people to deal with

lady had soft tissue injury to Rt. paw. I was not sure if it was roken because shee ws unable to put any weight on paw and was in a great deal of pain. I did take her to Emergency clinic as it was a weekend for evaluation.Since it was the first time I was using the insurance I did call to make sure I had everything I needed to submit claim. Eveyone I spoke to was so helpful,kind and concerned. The claim was handled quickly and I did recieve emails with updates. I origionally just purchased accident and injury and now plan to upgrade my policy. Very pleased with the company. Truthfully they are much easier to deal with than insurance for humans, they show compassion!
