Great coverage, slow return, ridiculous rate raising

I knew right away when I got a dog that I wanted to have this insurance. It has great coverage if you choose the highest package. However, the turn around times on refunds have slowed significantly, as well as the pricing for that package increasing to a ridiculous and unfair amount in too short of a time!

Good incurance.. BUT after 2 years they called to tell me my premium for next year would increase 67%/ Stunned to say the least

Almost feels like a bait and switch. I could understand...increase... like everything in the world. But 67% increase!!!! I will probably change plans as there are other good ones for less money. I just need to be covered for a MAJOR illness or injury

Smooth Sailing

Quinn had a wicked case of Kennel cough. He contracted it 2 days before Christmas. We went to the emergency dept because of course his coughing got much worse after 6 pm. I submitted my claims from the emergency Dep’t, as well as, his follow up visit to his primary care vet and everything went perfectly. I was reimbursed promptly.
