Don't waste your time or money

ASPCA Pet Insurance has been a complete disappointment. They 𝓭𝓮𝓵𝓪𝔂 processing documentation while simultaneously rushing to deny claims - they denied multiple separate claims, claiming they "couldn't obtain documentation" despite my uploading all requested documents the day before the denials were issued. The timing alone proves they never actually reviewed the documentation I provided. When I had to resubmit everything via email and request reconsideration, it became apparent that this is likely a standard practice to 𝓭𝓮𝓷𝔂 legitimate claims without proper review. More recently, they've denied additional claims for one of my cats with zero explanation whatsoever - claims that should clearly be covered under the policy terms. When challenged, they 𝓭𝓮𝓯𝓮𝓷𝓭 their inexplicable decisions rather than provide actual justification. If I had the time and resources, I'd 𝓭𝓮𝓹𝓸𝓼𝓮 their executives under oath about these practices. The pattern is unmistakable: collect premiums, create processing delays, deny first, then defend the indefensible when customers fight back. This isn't insurance - it's legalized theft through bureaucratic obstruction. For a company trading on the ASPCA name and reputation, its claims handling is disgracefully predatory. It's happy to take your premiums but will use every procedural trick to avoid paying when your pet needs care. Save yourself the frustration and find an insurer that actually honors its policies -- or better yet, deposit the money you would have spent on premiums into an interest-bearing account and pay yourself back when needed. ASPCA Pet Insurance appears designed to collect premiums while systematically denying legitimate claims through "processing errors" and unexplained rejections.

Changing my insurance when this ends

I am leaving aspca insurance in March when my policy ends. They raised the price to $88 and they only give a small portion back for preventive treatment and dont add it to the deductible. I spent $1000 for spaying and a tooth removal and got $175 back and gave me 499.30 for my deductible! Couldn't even give me the $500 to meet my deductible. I took my dog back for her second distemper shot and I spent $50 and they denied it. Unless its not preventive care it will not go to the deductible. Im going to join AKC health insurance. Maybe sooner than later. Its easy to put in a claim but im just done giving $88 a month way and only get a Little bit back. Its not worth it! Waste of money.

RUN AWAY

This company does everything in its toolbox to not pay claims. Even when your dog is sick. RUN RUN RUN away. I wish I had chosen another company. What a waste.

Excellent for pets including horses!

My cat and horse have been insured with this co for many years. I have always been paid promptly and pleased with coverage. Claims are easy. Horse aged out of major medical but here at least you can get accident and colic covered regardless of age. They just covered an expensive surgery on the horse from an accident! Thank you for being great to work with!

company is truly a scam…

This insurance company is truly a scam when it comes to paying out. If it’s routine there’s not a problem. However don’t waste your time, energy, or money on any other plans. They will lie about contacting the vet office, lie about attaching files, lie about calling you back, and lie about what they need. I have been fighting this company for almost two months for insurance I pay for. If I’d just put everything I pay for this in an account I’d have had better luck. The last contact was being promised by a supervisor that multiple people would be written up for lying to a customer and not doing their jobs only to once again have the supervisor lie to us and again not reopen a claim that they had all the information on in the first place. Don’t waste your money. I’ve already sent in complaints to the better business bureau. It’s disappointing that they offer to help and just leave you in a worse spot with more stress when you animal has injuries .
