Terrible insurance

customer services is terrible. It took 4 months for medical records to go through. They decided that my dog benefits wouldn't be covered because I just found out he has lyme and never had it any previous appointments, I was told its a pre existing disease.

Online claim form a bit awkward

The online claim submission form was acting up when I tried to submit, only at the last step when it asks you to agree to the terms and conditions. It took a few attempts before finally working. If I recall correctly, trying to call in my claim was equally unsuccessful. Once the online form took the claim, it was a week or two before receiving reimbursement, and the process was simple from there.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.
