The insurance is great but check for wait times

Overall the insurance is great with the coverage and price being better than other plans. However, you have to be very mindful when signing up to be sure there is no wait time for any component going into effect. When I signed up for two of my cats there was no wait time but when I signed up my 3rd cat there was a wait time for illness and I did not fully understand the implications which meant that anything the vet noticed at the initial exam (in my case the cat had diarrhea and a possible heart murmur) was considered preexisting and will never be covered. This has resulted in them excluding reimbursement portions of standard biannual tests including fecal exams (which are part of a test package of blood and fecal) from my claims. Also, while the customer service reps are empathetic it’s better to talk to a manager when trying to resolve claim issues. Jess has been more responsive and helpful than others.

Good coverage, but not transparent about rising premium

I like that you're clear about reviewing claims and which claims will be covered, I've had a great experience in that regard! But I don't get notified when the premium rises. My premium increased over the past two years and I don't really know what to expect in the future, and I'm not notified when it happens. Also, the app is horrendous. I can't look at my updated policy packet!
