Very fast

Very fast process and easy to follow through logging into my account. I called the representative once one week after I submitted and she said due to large volume of claim, it is delayed a few days. She immediately started the process of my claim & the rest was very fast to complete.

Highly recommend

My Shepherd dog, Ranger, was attacked by Javelinas one evening when we were going to the mailbox. I live in the desert. He sustained many large severe lacerations and bites all over his body. I rushed him to the Emergency Vet where he had 3 hours of surgery. The bill was $2256 but after my $250 deductible I paid only $225. I've had the accident policy on both my dogs for 2 years and I was going to cancel the policy on Ranger because he is old and hardly goes out. This goes to show you that accidents can happen with no warning at any time. The $9.00 a month premium was well worth it. I highly recommend this accident policy to anyone who loves their pets.
