Pet insurance saved our puppy

My 10 month old Great Dane puppy, Brutus, got very sick very suddenly. We suspected a blockage, but when all the conservative tests came up inconclusive we needed to go in and do an exploaratory surgery to find out what was going on. When there was nothing but inflammation, they took biopsies to send off to be analysed. They came back for IBD, and with probiotics and prescription food we are hoping to manage it. Without pet insurance, I would have had to make a hard decision as this was almost 6000$ to find the cause. If you don't have pet insurance, get it now!

Did everything online

Did everything online, at work. It was pretty easy and simple. The only update I'd like to see is, when uploading docs, I wish I could upload more than one document at once vs doing "two" claims.
