This pet insurance is a scam!!!!!

This pet insurance is a scam!!!!!! Don’t get it. I was paying extra for Illness then when I filed a claim I found out my dog wasn’t covered for Illness due to his age but it never said that in the policy. I called to cancel my policy and they never canceled it and was still charging me and won’t refund me my money.

The staff I spoke with were very knowledgeable. The answered all my questions and valued my concerns. This is the first time I had to ever purchase pet insurance and they walked me through the steps and all coverages. They were able to assist with adjusting my insurance policy without having any issues.

Pleasure to speak with. I put off calling, needed to clarify what was covered with puppy's policy. I spoke to Alicia who was knowledgeable, and willing to explain what I didn't understand. Thanks!

Understanding and kindness.

Horrible insurance, liars and thieves

The folks you talk to to start a plan, super nice, informative, and friendly. But once they got you, then you talk to claims department. I paid for the extras with Hereditary Plus. We ended up having a claim, our baby has Alopecia. Paid about $900 for treatment, meds, visits. Turned it in. Was informed our claim was denied due to preexisting conditions. I called in talked to someone in customer service. They said they do not cover preexisting conditions. I told them it’s a congenital hereditary condition, so my plan should cover it. The guy then told me I could file a redetermination request form but he doubts it would change anything. I told him you guys just use whatever you can to squirm out of a claim??? He said yes sir! I asked to speak to a manager, he said okay went to transfer me and hung up on me. This company is the worst most lying unethical pet insurance company out there and shame on The AKC for recommending them. Stay away!

I’ve been with this insurance since Oct. last year. I signed up for because they are only one who pays for pre-existing condition. It says 365 days waiting period. If they told you pre-existing, didn’t they tell you to wait 365 days to cover ? I was wondering… Did you switch to other company?
