Great Pet Insurance Company

I had to take my dog to Emergency vet care. Filed claim online which was really quick and straightforward. Very simple process and received email saying would receive check within the next week.

So what I love about this insurance is…that they really reimburse you. But be ready to wait several weeks for that-1 month and longer

So what I love about this insurance is that they keep their word and do reimburse you. So far I haven't had any issue. What I do NOT like is that they take sooooooo long to do so. I'm STILL waiting for 2 of my claims that were submitted more than a month ago to be processed. They're still in "review" stage. When you spend a few bucks, that's OK. But when you spend several hundred at your very and really need that money, then it becomes an issue. I have another claim to submit and I'm already preparing myself for a frustration, as that one is close to couple thousand $$ and I know I'll be most likely waiting couple months to get that money back :( So to me this company is 3.5 stars. But 5 rounds up, so it should be 4. I suppose. But I'm leaning more towards 3 stars. Not the cheapest pet insurance, but not the most expensive either.

Quick and easy to use. I love that they have an app. Lately reviewing claims have been longer than previously, but still quick!
