Not as I expected when I signed up

I wasn't expecting the preventative limits to be so low. Bordetella allowed is only $8. That's pretty low. The exam allowable limit is only $50. No one has exams for that. I was just expecting something more considering the additional premium for the coverage. It was my understanding that the coverage was 100% for preventative and 90% for the rest of the policy. But now I see it's not that way. I think of like to cancel the policy and go with a more expensive policy like trupanion that actually covers the total price of the invoice at the deductible rate advertised.

Benefits under each plan are unclear

Benefits under each plan are unclear. I thought I had signed up for full dental coverage but then I got a $1000 bill. I don't know what I am paying for. Probably going to move to another company.

So far I’m pleased w/ Pets Best Ins

So far I’m pleased w/ Pets Best Ins. The woman I spoke w/ in Customer Service (I didn’t get her name) was very nice & very helpful. Unfortunately, my wonderful cat, Little Kitty, got sick & died & Pets Best paid all her bills. The reason I gave them 4 stars & not 5 is because they took forever to reimburse me.
