Coverage is fairly comprehensive

The vet recommended Oravet dental chew for dental maintenance. It was covered when we got our first bag, but none after that. I would like to know what changed please.

Appreciates their customers and pets; demonstrates that appreciation through follow-up, reimbursement efficiency and value.

Appreciate the follow-up to check in on my pet and the broad base of services reimbursed as well as the quick reimbursement.

Better Than No Insurance

I find that the reasons for coverage and non-coverage are not clear. Claims take much too long to process, they should be finalized in under 21 days so that credit cards payments for the vet bill can be paid within the monthly cycle. I will say that their customer service representatives are very friendly and super helpful.

Claims take too long to process

Claims take way too long to process - generally 3 weeks or longer and all my claims are straightforward. I have AFLAC insurance and they process claims within 5 days! I think you can shorten the processing time.

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.
