Very helpful

My only issue was that you don’t pay for surgeries. And due to my complicated old age I didn’t find that out till we had to pay $7,000.00 for a surgery, that was not covered. Difficult for us seniors

Quick Turnaround Time for Claims

My dog needed a lot of vet and preventative care recently. I have really appreciated that when I am able to finally take the time to submit my claims the turnaround time is so quick for reimbursement. I have really appreciated having pet insurance to rely on for my sweet but high-maintenance pet. Thanks!

Claims are processed very quickly! The EOB is always clear in what is/isn't covered and why. Haven't had a single complaint.

I held off for years in buying pet insurance. It became an option to have it auto-deducted from my paycheck. Easy to do, and protects my dogs - no brainer! Each claim is processed efficiently. So glad I finally did this! The website is super easy to use as well. I can upload an invoice emailed to me by my vet - paperless and seamless!
