Not satisfied with deductible

I know you only want positive claim stories but I wanted to share feedback somewhere. I have been insuring two puppies for the past 4 years. The very first "should" we run an x-ray decision was decided in my mind by - well, yes we need to know for sure and that's what I have insurance for her for. My claim was rejected because of a deductible. 4 years /x two dogs and $400 rejected the first time I wanted to use it. I have to be honest, I'm not 100% certain that having insurance for my young dogs makes sense financially. Not sure what to recommend to you as a company , but this is the first time in over 10 years and 4 animals that I have considered cancelling and covering my animals myself because I felt foolish for wasting money on Pet's Best. Just wanted to share that because I have been a long time customer and fan.

Deductible and co-pay

The 3-5 days period should be more responsible as to what's going on -I didn't realize I had to pay a deductible AND co-pay so was disappointed to see how little I actual got back.

Easy and stress free

I submitted my claim at my vets office. Brought in the claim form and they sent in the claim. This is the second claim I submitted. This is my first time having pet insurance. So far it's been easy and stress free to submit a claim.
