Insurance should pay for more wellness

My Austrailian shepherd mix suffers from Anal gland problems which means we need to take her every 4 to 6 weeks to have them expressed. If we don't see scoots on her behind and will cause skin irritations, etc. and the gland will still be swollen till we take her to we vet. We do this to make her comfortable, and ward off any other issues. Don't understand why this isn't covered!!! Seriously thinking of looking into another pet insurance, we've used VPI and now Nationwide for years wanted to stay w the company we started with. Time will tell. look around and compare benefits.

Outstanding speed of claim processing and reimbursement

I was thrilled at how quick the reimbursement turnaround time was. We as the consumer appreciate the efficiency.

Need a better website that explains what is actually covered and what isn't

Some of my visits to the vet are covered and some aren't. I have a hard time figuring out what is actually covered with my plan.
