Easiest process ever!

Great insurance and super easy process to be reimbursed. My invoice for Rex was mixed with other pets. I was concerned there would be confusion. There was not!

Did the right thing

My dog was diagnosed w Addison's disease last year n they were extremely supportive n understanding thru the process and really did the right thing throughout. The only complaint I have is how much (about 30%) they raised my premium from last year to this year. Their website claims average premium is about $40-$60 and mine is above that and my dog is only 7.

Long wait time

I think the wait was too long. I understand people get busy. The problem is people that bit this insurance are doing so because they want extra protection for their pets and finances. They shouldn't have to Wait 10 days

I was kept in the loop!

It was taking longer than usual to process my claim, but I was promptly notified when they realized it was going to take longer than expected. Once my claim was processed I got a detailed list of what was covered, the amount that was/wasn’t covered, AND why things were not covered if they weren’t. I love that I had already gotten answers to questions I knew I’d have.
