efficient and friendly

All of my questions and concerned are answered by friendly and knowledgable people. The claims process could not be easier with the app. Take pictures of my recipients/documentation, submit, then accept payment. A few business days later the money transferred to my bank account.

Money

I don’t have any complaints with my actual service. They have been very good to me for the most part but I will say I have a lot of friends that have purchased dogs lately and when I suggested nationwide I was absolutely horrified when I saw what the premium was. For a puppy my friend was quoted 193. That’s outrageous. I was just told my own policy is going up almost $30 that is a huge champ and I’m currently looking for other insurances. Geico is very reasonable and healthy paws also. There are way more places offering insurance now to be price gauging like that

A very good help with the expensive cost in owning a pet

Thank you for covering a large portion of the cost for our last very visit. The overall cost is owning a pet is overwhelming without some assistance.
