Cost increased 33% this year
The insurance is decent coverage, and so far every appropriate claim has been covered per the contract. However, the price jumped 33% from one year to the next. They say costs are based on type of pet, age of pet, and where you live. The only thing that changed was my cat went from 4 to 5 years old. They claim that costs don’t increase based on claims, but that feels false based on a 33% jump. If I had known the price would increase this much in one year I would have gone with another company.

With the VitusVet app it was easy to file a claim and I got reimbursed within a couple weeks.
I had several claims from an emergency surgery and was able to submit everything easily with the app on my phone. It took about 2 weeks but got reimbursed for a good chunk. It was a huge relief.
