Been covered since 8 weeks but they want proof with each claim that the illness was not pre-existing …

We signed up for this coverage when our puppy was 8 weeks old. Given this, any claim for illness/injury would have happened within his coverage period. He is now 9 months old and we have submitted three claims. Each time, the company asks for records from every vet he’s ever seen to make sure it’s not pre-existing. With the last claim, they requested records from the wrong vet. I responded in their app and by email three times. I finally had to call to get this corrected. That said, the claim submission process is very simple and user friendly. Hence the three stars instead of two.

Rejected with no explanation

You didn’t cover any of the most expensive cost that was deemed necessary by the vet, meaning you covered less than 40% of my out-of-pocket cost, despite me not being allowed to get medication without having the procedures done. I wasn’t able to speak with anyone or plead any sort of case, and there is no explanation whatsoever as to why the cost was not covered.

Amost everything went great

Amost everything went great! The process to purchase was straightforward and easy to navigate through... until I tried to summit my claim. I'm sure it's operator error. I could not figure out how to download the invoice. I kept getting an error the file was too big. I finally got it to work, but I don't know what I did 😄. That process could be a little more senior friendly.
