Absolutely pathetic

Every time I submit a claim they say that they need more information and can't process my claim. Half the stuff that I submit for a claim they deny. I've been waiting almost 2 weeks for a refund and they keep saying that they need more information when the app won't even download on my phone. I've had countless problems with their app. I'm done. I'm about to just switch insurance companies.

Illness claim

Pets Best worked surprisingly well. My pup was vomiting for over 24 hours so I took him to the vet. Based on the vet's experience and my dog's symptoms, he just treated the nausea rather than doing a lot of exploratory procedures. I was worried that the insurance would not cover it since there wasn't a cause determined, but they did (towards my deductible). The claims process was very easy and the communication was clear. I did a lot of research before purchasing this policy and it worked as well as I had hoped.

My dog has been insured for years now and at first the coverage was really great. He has been on the same plans the whole time but the insurance is covering less and less of the cost, meanwhile the price of the insurance just continues to increase.
