Better be safe than sorry! Totally worth it

This is the best investment a pet parent can make. It brings such a relief knowing that if anything were to happen to my pups I’ll be able to afford the care they need. Having the wellness insurance also helps me make sure we never miss an appointment and my pups always get their shots on time!

Long Wait

I’ve had my pet insurance for two dogs for almost a year and only had to use it once. Paying almost $1000 to be reimbursed only $700 for a $1100 claim. I felt like I got the run around while trying to get reimbursed for my claim and it took almost two months to get paid. It’s also not like human medical insurance as you have to come up with the money to pay your vet in advance anyway. Definitely have to look at risk vs. reward to decide if it’s worth it. My dogs go hard, so I’ll be keeping it for now!

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
