Thanks for the no hassle claims process !

We had a routine appointment for Milly and processed the claim online. I was a reimbursement check very quickly - it felt like two weeks... thanks for making it easy.

Filing a Claim

The process to submit the claim was very easy. I wish it was more easy to understand my explanation of benefits. Overall, a very easy, straightforward process.

Emergency surgery saved our dog's life

Our 9 year old Newfoundland was suddenly diagnosed with a belly full of blood from a ruptured spleen due to an undetected tumor. Despite the >80% chance that this was a malignant cancer, we took her to the local veterinary surgeon who took out her spleen that night. Now a month later, she is back to her spunky self and even better, the pathology was read as benign. Having pet insurance allowed us to do what was best for our canine family member and not worry about the cost. The claims process was easy and hassle free and made a terrible situation into one with a happy ending. Thank you.
