I am giving the lowest star possible…

I am giving the lowest star possible because after reading the reviews I have decided this is not a good pet insurance company who nickle and dimes you to death and won't keep their end of the bargain. I will find something more trustworthy than this one for sure. Thank you everyone for your reviews and alarming other consumers such as myself.

VETERINARIAN: VCA Knowles Central Animal Hospital

A scam. They won’t be there when you need it

It s simply a scam. I been paying ASPCA many years for my doberman as a preventive measure for when my dog gets old and need veterinary care and what happened is that when she turned 11 the monthly payment was raised to 292.53 dollars and when she turned 12 years the monthly payment was raised to 469,86 dollars. I started years before for less than 80 dollars. I been forced to cancel the insurance before she passed away because the total amount covered was less than the cost of the year. If you are thinking to take the insurance for use it when you will need it most think it twice.

A rich company happy to charge unauthorized charges

I already spoke to customer service as me tioned below and no help. I started a plan for my senior dog for 125 per month. I received NO communications about this policy and thought policy expired. Instead I came to find they had continued to charge me AND STARTED CHARGING 250 monthly. There is a years worth of charges totalling 3000!!! That kind of money is more than enough to cry about. I never filed a single claim as I though it was cancelled. I spoke to customer service - they offered zero refund. A rich company scamming. Trust broken.

Disappointed in ASPCA PET INSURANCE

I have been an ASPCA customer for over 2 decades. They used to be wonderful & I sung their praises in prior reviews. Now, I will never donate to The Guardian Plan, nor will I carry my pet insurance with them ever again. Not trusting The Guardian Plan??? It is difficult for me to reach that point, but they earned my distrust over the last few years. I love animals & will continue to do things that support rescue efforts, but it will never happen via the ASPCA ever again. I have been a pet insurance policy holder for well over 2 decades & I now see that greed is the driving force. I work in a management capacity with a large international company & I know that profits are massively important. I also know that integrity should always be at the forefront of anything that a corporation does, so that we maintain the trust & transparency that any customer needs, in order to maintain a positive relationship. The ASPCA’s repeated failures to keep my trust have led to me canceling my partnership with them with regard to both my insurance coverage and my Guardian Plan participation. It saddens me to pull my financial support from an organization that I once felt deeply held the same convictions towards the protection of animals that I hold dear. I attempted to express my displeasure on some direct phone conversations. I felt that it was important for me to speak to someone personally so that I might properly express where I was coming from. I was met with some very polished “Corporate Talk.” I was impressed by the resources that had obviously been utilized to prepare their customer service staff to rebuke the kinds of poor customer service that they were providing. They clearly felt their money was much better spent on training their customer service staff to provide spin for the concerns that their customers brought forth, rather than just paying out on the claims that their customers had been paying for over the course of years. I felt it was important for me to share my experience so that someone else, who may be relying on the organization to hold true to their word, might not have the rug pulled out from under them. It may not sound like it from this review, but it really does sadden me to see how a once good organization no longer lives up to their promises.

I have paid into this pet insurance for…

I have paid into this pet insurance for a year recently. I visited the vet for the first time for a wellness check for both of my kittens. I have the complete care coverage and the preventative basic and it says no wait time and you don't have to meet a deductible for the wellness check. I paid $300 out of pocket because you have to pay out of pocket before they reimbursed you. Which if I would have known I was going to be denied both claims and had to fight them and still fight them after paying a year into the insurance I would have not put myself dead broke for the month I would have financed better....I would have never paid into this scam. only for them to fight me over. $90 on one and $70 on the other is disgusting They should be ashamed of themselves. It's a rip. So basically I'm paying out of pocket regardless and I would have paid out of pocket without paying a Year's worth of fees. So I'm actually out a s*** ton of money.
