Easy and helpful

It's easy to upload a claim and though it takes awhile for the reimbursement at times. It's a great insurance and I am glad I have it since recent one of my dogs got diagnosed with diabetes. It's helps having help pay the funds for all his vet bills.

Terrible insurance

Brand new baby puppy. I got him insured the day we picked him up. On his first vaccine visit they found an issue with his teeth a week later. Insurance promptly called it pre existing and excluded care for his congenital condition. 8 weeks old, insured immediately. Bunch of thieves and robbers stealing your cash and screwing you over.

Monthly Cost

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

$5000 -Unlimited annual limit, depending on your chosen plan. Unlimited lifetime limits.
