Name Should Be HartLESS

Like many others, my cats policies are being transferred from 24 Pet Watch to Hartsville and the experience has been an absolute horrible nightmare. Hartville has stated they intend to increase monthly premiums by 150% to 200% or more, literally doubling and tripling the price, and they have absolutely no problem in doing so, they are treating 24 Pet Watch customers like garbage, telling 24 Pet Watch customers take it or leave it and that they are doing us a favor, acting like we should be thanking them for taking over the policies and up to tripling the price. I'm terrified to find out what the claims denial process will be like because the experience with Hartsville has been a total nightmare. Their name shoudl be HartLESS,

VETERINARIAN: Upstate Vet Emergency & Specialty Care - Greenville

Hartville Really Helped!

We have multiple cats and each have coverage through Hartville. When our sweet Millie had an emergency vet visit due to complications with her FeLV diagnosis, Hartville swiftly processed the claim and provided the reimbursement we needed. I’ve had other pet insurance before and Hartville is the only company to truly care and cover what is needed. Thank you Hartville!

Horrible Experience

The worst experience I've ever had with a company. After being a 10 year loyal customer to 24PetWatch - they moved my account without my approval to Hartville who then debited my account without my approval for over $3,900, more than 6x what I had been paying. They then refused to return the full amount to me. Completely unethical.

Awful company

Awful company. Downgraded my policy without my consent, screwing my dog over at the end of her life. I don’t know how these people sleep at night, knowing that they hurt people and their Innocent pets.

Horrible company

I was transferred from 24 pet to Heartville they wanted to charge me$107. For an accident & illness policy. I was only paying $77. At 24pet for the same policy. I canceled my policy with both companies on January 3rd 2025. I even received a cancellation email from Heartville stating that they canceled my policy. On March 15,2025 they charged my bank account/ card for $107. For a policy that was cancelled several months ago. Even 24 pet confirmed that I had done this. With Hartville. Now they are telling me that they have no control over their refund process and wait 7 business days 3/25/25 is 7 business days & they still can’t tell me what is going on with my refund. IF my refund doesn’t show up 3/25/25 then they will SEE IF they can manually refund me but they are not positive. I have been with spot pet since January 3 2025 & I pay $77. For accident, illness & wellness policy. I would not recommend Hartville for your pet they over charge. They have no care that they are affecting people and their personal banking/cards causing other problems for those people. After the fact of being canceled several months prior. Even my personal family member who works in the insurance industry is completely surprised with Hartville behavior. I have also called 24 pet to inform them of how the situation of being transferred to Hartville is affecting people & suggested that they find a different provider to transfer any remaining costumers over to.
