7 year old healthy boy kitty

I’ve been a customer for over a year and a half, and my 7-year-old cat has had no health issues during this time. However, I was disappointed to learn that the insurance premium for my cat is now higher than for my new cat. I expected more consistent pricing, especially given my pet’s clean health record. I’d appreciate a lower pricing structure and hope for a fairer approach in the future.

Dropped with 20 days notice after 5 years

After five years of being a loyal customer I was one of the one millions suddenly dropped for having a five year-old dog. My costs sky rocketed 74% and then I was dropped with less than a month's notice. AVOID THIS COMPANY!
