Quick and compassionate response in an emergency

Hartville Pet Insurance was amazing when my cat Fishy had to be rushed to the emergency vet for acute urinary blockage. Knowing that they would cover 90% of my vet costs after a $100 deductible, I was able to confidently and quickly get the care that Fishy needed without hesitation that I wouldn't be able to afford it. Even after I was handed a $1300 bill, I knew I had no reason to fear because I had been able to speak with an insurance agent earlier that day to confirm that the charges would be covered. Additionally, every time I speak with a representative of this company, they always ask after the health of my pet first, before ever mentioning the business I call or email about. As a grad student with a cat who's never been 100% healthy, Hartville has been a literal life-saver for Fishy and my bank account at a monthly premium that I can afford. I have recommended Hartville to everyone I know with pets and when we bring home a second cat later this year, I will be immediately signing her up for an insurance plan of her own. It breaks my heart when friends and family have to set-up crowdfunding accounts to cover their vet bills when pet insurance is such an easy alternative, especially with Hartville Pet Insurance.

Simple as it is!

Prompt processing, a variety of selections to suit your pet's needs. I own a 15 yr cat, she sees her vet every 1 or 2 months and no hassle. You pay then you file a claim, you then see the reimbursement in your bank account. This is the only pet insurance I ever have had, they are good enough so not looking to switch.

Happy to have insurance during catastropic situations

When things go wrong with an older dog, they seem to really go wrong! So to be able to have insurance is great. The team at Pets Health Care Plan are very kind. Good at responding, short wait time on the phone, and follow up after incidents. Living in the NYC metropolitan area, fees are high, and I guess my only issue is that what I pay at the vet is always higher than what is allowed for "usual and customary charges."

Slow to pay will very poor customer service.

The premiums are reasonable and they are very timely to collect payment or to provide a quote to add a pet. On the flip side of receiving payments for the coverage you are paying for; poor communication, slow roll the payment process, and little ability to provide believable information on the status of a claim.
