Bad business

I would not recommend trusting this company with your pets. I have successfully filed claims with this company, although they rarely reimbursed the rate that I was charged. This year my premium more than tripled to $255 a month after being a customer for nine years. I received an email that my rate may be increasing, but I had to dig into the website to find any dollar amount by that point it was too late. Again, I would not recommend trusting this company with your pets.

I totally agree with you. I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. They do NOT disclose important information in their policy documents. I will be posting a detailed review on my experience shortly. I’m still gathering necessary information.

Bad business practices

We received a notice that our 24hour Pet Watch was transferred to Hartville - they downgraded our coverage and tripled our monthly premium for the two cats from $137 to $392. There is no account information, no way to see details. We received no notice prior to this email. We can’t even cancel the insurance. That this is legal in the US speaks leagues to why everyone is so pissed off. Businesses are run poorly and they cover their lack of management ability by treating their customers poorly, overcharging while failing to provide value and engaging in other unscrupulous behavior.

This is by far the worst insurance company to ever work with. They make it virtually impossible to file a claim, their website does not allow for uploads, and they will not process claims without. The email link they send doesn't work! They are a scam and a fraud and I would cancel or not apply! All my money was wasted making them rich while I never got reimbursed except 25 dollars the first well exam. After that I've never been able to actually complete and file a claim !

Horrible Company

I had my pet insurance through 24hour Pet Watch - they decided to no longer do insurance so they sold my plan to Hartville. I am now paying more $34.00 more and I have less coverage. Customer Service horrible! I was able to summit claims for prescription food and wellness visits but not with this company!! Do not get your insurance through Hartville.

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,

They tripled the premiums for my dog from $74/month to $255/month and since they don’t sent statements I didn’t notice until I saw my bake statement and it was too late.
