ASPCA | Pet Insurance Review

I recently transferred my five pets' insurance fromPetshealth to PetPlan because of Petshealth's denial of renewal for conditions occuring in the previous policy period by labeling them as "pre-existing". Moreover, Petshealth will not cover dental disease of any kind unless it is an emergency that involves extractions of teeth. Thus, gingivitis is excluded, as is periodontal disease necessitating treatment under anesthesia. Equally disturbing is the ASPCA's lack of responsiveness to complaints about Petshealth. I have contacted both the Marketing Manager and the CEO of the ASPCA and have not received the courtesy of a response from either.

WOW and more WOW (or should I say Bow Wow!!) I thought I was really going to get the run around. This is the first time I ever dealt with pet insurance and when our poor pit bull Ginger broke her leg and the cost was close to $3,000 (had to take it from my twindling 401K) and I am 63 years old I was devastated. The ASPCA came through with just about one-half the cost. I was most relieved. I cannot thank them enough for their pleasant manner on the phone and lessening the tremendous anxiety I was feeling.

I recently signed up for insurance for my dog. Somehow I lost the policy paperwork. I e-mailed a gentleman at the company and he e-mailed the documents back to me in minutes. What could be better service than that?

One very positive remark I have to say about ASPCA and that is the way their Customer Service works: excellent. Now, for reimbursement of claims, I have been with this insurance for only a year and every time I submit a claim I had problems in being refunded, there were always something to their benefit. Otherwise, these days is better to have a pet insurance in your loved four legged than nothing.

I don't understand why there are so many bad reviews about this plan. I have not been able to find anything for such a great price. There is really no uncertainty either. You pay the rate. Your yearly deductible is $100 (cheap!) and then you get reimbursed 80%. I love Petshealthcare. I recently had a bill for over $1000.00 because my baby was throwing up non stop. He was hospitalized and on an IV. I received a check for over $800 within a week or 2 after he was released. And, I live in CA. I have never had any issues with claims regarding unfair reimbursement amounts based on my zip code. Since I have had Petshealthcare,my dog has had at least 3 claims, and each one was handled very well except for 1 time. However, this time I appealed the denial, and I won. I was very impressed that they took the time to re review my claim. And, every time I call the customer service line, everyone is very friendly and professional. I used to have VPI because everyone seems to recommend them. I do not want to bad mouth them, but they were horrible. They sent me a UPS letter to cancel my policy because they accused me of knowingly failing to report my dog's pre exisiting condition. No phone call, nothing! Just a cancellation letter. The only bad thing I can see about Petshealthcare is the whole pre existing clause. I guess if the dog is sick 1 month before renewal, there will be some issues. However, if you call their customer service and talk to someone, I bet they could explain that part better. Overall, it is still a great deal, especially for my 2 boys who are always ending up in the emergency room or getting a bee sting or an ankle sprain or something.My older dog has had all kinds of troubles and diseases. I love my dogs like they are my kids, and I feel comfort knowing we have this coverage.
