Policy Filled with Loop Holes

Don't take out a policy AKC Pet Insurance unless you're a lawyer specializing in contract law. They denied a surgery claim a year after a crucial ligament surgery diagnosis claiming that the initial injury happed within a 180 day waiting period despite paying other claims for the same injury. I called to try to discuss the denial but all I got was my policy quoted to me and them conveniently not being able to find the claims that were paid.
