Smartest move we ever made...

For some reason...I can't tell you why...we decided to get Pet Insurance when we adopted this dog...Yuki. She has been with us for about 7 year now, and she has had more medical problems than any dog we've ever had. We have been so thankful that our Pet Insurance has been wonderful at every step of the way. Not once have they balked at a claim, and we have been very happy with the coverage. The only reason I wouldn't give a 10 is that our last 2 or 3 claims have taken a really long time to clear--about 4 weeks. A few years ago, our claims cleared quickly, but now it seems to take a month...that's too bad. Otherwise, I'm happy with this insurance, and every dog I have from now on will be insured.

Great service for our BooBoo

Thank you for the 6 1/2 years of support for BooBoo. Her master, Tony, passed away, and I cannot afford the program. It was really nice to have.

Claim submission

The claim processing takes a bit longer, but other than that all good. They handle the claims accordingly.
