Processed at the speed of light
I had another insurance plan for my now 7 year old Sheltie that I dropped several years ago when the premiums continued to skyrocket. Thanks to Pilchuck Clinic for recommending Trupanion! Three months after initiating this policy, my 13 month old Sheltie was hospitalized in critical care for 6-1/2 days with seriously elevated kidney values. My clinic sent the records promptly after his discharge and within a few days I was notified that the claim was processed. We never want to tell our pets that we can't take care of them because of the cost. Thanks to Trupanion, I was able to get the highest quality care for my special boy, who is now completely well!

I think the title is just like what we do each day
Our embrace experience has been dexcellent. The folks are patient when we fail to sign our claim form, they work with the vets to get what we forgot to get or need and have given us the peace of mind regarding exdpenses that allow us to make sure our pet get the treatment she needs. It is not about let's wait and see, but let's get this checked out right away.

I did the right thing to get this insurance.
I recently had to bring my cat to a vet, and it turned out he needed a stomach surgery. The total bill was about $2,000. My PetHealth insurance covered more than half of it - exactly as per my contract. I have to say this company absolutely has met my expectations in this claim, I didn't have problems, and they keep the monthly premiums low.

Great People!
We hadn't been insured with Embrace but for a couple of Months when my little buddy (Buster) hurt his right elbow. I was contacted before this by Embrace, asking why I did not have the orthopedic waiver done. We barely had enough money to buy the policy, let alone take him in for an exam. Well, a week later, he came down with a stinkin ear infection. My vet did the ortho exam at the same time for no charge. Of course his elbow injury was going to be excluded for a period, but I cannot remember how long. That was understandable, though now I had wished we had done it to begin with.
About two weeks later, Buster woke me at 3am and just looked at me. A few minutes later he was in a full blown seizure. We rushed him to a local emergency vets office. At 8am, my buddy passed away. He was not even three yet. I was devistated. The only thing the doctors could figure was that he had an aneurism or some other issue in the brain. All of the other tests we did were negative.
I waited a few weeks before finally submitting all of the paperwork, for the ear and seizure. I had an approval in less than 24 hours and a check in hand within a week. When they found out about Busters passing, they had refunded the balance of my premium within a couple of days, without a word.
I made sure I had ALL of the required documentation prior to faxing it in, so i am sure that had something to do with their quick response.
This is my experience and I will definately use them again. I appreciated the

Rip Off Plan!
I have had this plan for my Rottweiler for 6 years, since I registered her with AKC at a few months old. She was diagnosed with wearing ACL in her right knee last year. A few months later she tore the ACL in her left knee. After consulting with an orthopedic surgeon, he told me it would be better to repair both knees at the same time as it would save the dog from having to go through the anestesia another time, the healing process would be done at once, and an added perk was it would cost less. I called the PetPartners insurance and asked them if there was any problem having both knees operated on in the same day. Their response was -- yes, that's fine each knee is counted as a separate incident. After the surgery was done, I submitted my bill and PetPartners denied the bill on one knee saying two knees is counted as a chronic condition. I challenged their decision but they still denied payment on the second knee. This company lies and can't be trusted. Find a reputable company!!

Our Bedlington Terrier has had two neurological-hyperthemic attacks with limb extension rigidity which cost me about $2000. Trupanion have been wonderful and have lived well up to their name for which I thank, and recommend, them so much!!

Great Service
My cat, Tony, was acting differently and not interested in playing. Within 2 days he was crying and had lost his appetite. The vet we found he was constipated. He was so backed up they had to put him under anesthesia and physically remove the blockage. I knew it was going to be expensive but with my pet insurance 80% of the cost was covered. Now Tony is feeling great and we owe it to ASPCA Pet Health Insurance!

Pets Best stands alone in pet insurance.
My dog Charlie, recently suffered a severe, costly battle with adrenal cancer. Pets Best could not have been more pleasant to deal with, and handily the claim promptly. I would recommend Pets Best to any pet owner seeking insurance.

Pet Insurance is a LifeSaver!
I have many dogs and all of them are insured by Pets Best. I've had other insurance in the past and find Pets Best to be far superior. They have a quick turn around, fantastic customer service and are very fair with their coverage. Everyone should have insurance for their pets and I recommend Pets Best!
