VETERINARIAN: Cascade animal hospital

POSTED: | BY: Autumn Rogers

Nothing was covered.

I took my dog in for his yearly shots, nothing was covered. But because he had a limp, and the vet consulted me with that and we decided to address it (pano, aka GROWING PAINS) MY WHOLE CLAIM got denied. Pretty messed up for an almost 70$ payment a month, when life is already kicking me in my (non existent) ba lls. I'm very disappointed in the last 4 months I've been purchasing pets best service, and I have a very large social media group, a lot with DOGS, I will highly not recommend if this is not made right. I'm a very angry customer.

Basically got the refund we were hoping for, took incredibly long to get it, but worth the wait.

3 weeks already for a basic 80 dollar claim with no end in sight. You call them, you will be on hold for over 30 minutes. I won't use them again. In fact, I was considering canceling this policy..
