Greedy Pigs

They’re great at taking my money for years but terrible at doing anything helpful with it when I need them. Submit an emergency room bill? Somehow that takes at least a month to review and I have to wait on hold endlessly for any help. Thanks!

Almost not worth having

Almost not worth having, total monthly premiums cost more than my annual spend and payouts barely cover my annuals better off just setting aside money

Slow process

Pets best ALWAYS likes to take their sweet time over 3 weeks to process our claims. But they're right on time taking money out of my account when my quarterly payment is due. Very frustrating
