Excellent customer service

I have called the customer service line several times now and every time I am connected with a great representative. The two women that I spoke to are so helpful and friendly. I have received nothing short of the best of customer service. I am beyond happy with this!

Positive, quick reimbursement

I have to say, I filed my first claim and was really scared in the outcome after reading the negative reviews. I promptly sent in the claim form (via online) with my itemized receipt and they did exactly what they said they would. I wanted to put my positive comment in here to ease the minds of someone that may be feeling nervous filing their first claim. So far so good!

Claims

I had a claim for my dog, which was very upsetting because he had cancer. I submitted everything expecting a fight and I received amazing customer service and no headaches. Thank you so much for assisting and making a sad situation manageable!!
