Raised premium from $64.15/month to $92/ month after 1 year of policy, no major claims

Raised premium from $64.15/month to $92/ month after 1 year of policy, no major claims (+regular $250 deductible). This is an obscene practice! I called, and of course agent couldn't care less. I used to recommend this for other pet owners, never again.

Unclear about my benefits

Overall I find the claim submittal/reimbursement process to be fairly smooth and painless. I have taken advantage of the Helpline once, although I did not find it particularly helpful. It would be nice to understand more about my benefits and exactly what I get reimbursed for; I thought that after meeting the $250 deductible for the year I would be reimbursed at 100%, but that has not seemed to be the case. I would recommend that the Member Center of the website include a more detailed breakdown of submitted expenses and reimbursement amounts, rather than just a list of EOBs.

Monthly Cost

Policies start at approximately $12 per month.

The company’s most popular plan, Whole Pet with Wellness, offers 90% reimbursement for accident, injury, illness and wellness care, inclusive of exam fees.
