Misinformation and wasted time.

First my rates have gone through the roof. I pay half the premium for my dog that is one year younger at Trupanion. Then, I spent over a half hour on the phone with a representative trying to figure out which invoices I submitted already and which I didn't, because it is impossible to tell from website. She informed me that nothing was submitted after April 2015. When I submitted the receipts, the ones from that month were denied as duplicate submissions.

Kept raising premiums

Premiums went up 50% two years in a row. So they doubled our premiums over 24 months. I just cancelled after the policy renewal raised our premiums again.

Pets Best.- You are Awesome....

I have been a customer of Pets Best for many years. 4 dogs later, sadly only one left now. Had claims on all 4 and Pets Best deal with the claims quickly, professionally and with no hassle pay my claims within a week or so. Peace of mind. You guys are great.

Painless claim submission!

Love this insurance much better than other pet insurance we had. The claim submission process is painless and very easy. The turn around time to receive payment on a claim has never been over 10 days. Wish my health insurance was this easy!
