The entire process was easy, and there were no surprises!

We carry whole pet with wellness for our Frenchie. She went in for her spay, and had some corrective procedures related to brachycephalic syndrome while she was under. The claim process was easy, the reimbursement was timely, and the reimbursement amount was as expected. No complaints. We pay a pretty high premium for the whole pet with wellness, but so far is have been worth every penny.

Coverage Sucks

It's funny how human health insurance covers routine procedures, but pet health insurance has as many restrictions as a Carson's coupon, and we all know what happened to Carson's. At this point, I am surprised that pet insurance even covers anything and have been strongly considering canceling my policy, the math doesn't add up as I could break-even with the full year premium savings to the full year vet costs. It seems like the only real coverage I'd get is if my bear of a dog gets hit by a car.
