Claim processing time take way too long in my opinion.

At times when quite a lot of money has to be paid to get help for a sick dog can add up to quite a bit, and then not getting claims processed in a shorter period of time (mostly almost a month, if not a month), takes a toll on other spending. Charges for the insurance comes always promptly, but not the payments for the claims. Not good :/ Yet, I do appreciate communication from the insurance company to hear how my pet is doing after an illness, and for that I give 10 points :)

Has denied all medical claims

All submitted medical claims have been denied. When you call for information to buy the policy they make it sound like great deal.

Claims process is way too long. Payments are far less than actual cost

With great providers, Happy Girl is doing much better. Treatment of nose tumor may have worked as the dog is less anxious. Still some separation anxiety and some interrupted sleep.
