My dog had an accident and my claim was denied.

I purchased accident only insurance. My dog fell off of my bed, which caused her to throw out her back. I took her to the emergency vet where they did X-rays and gave me pain meds and anti inflammatory meds for her. They said as pets get older it’s easier for their discs to get knocked out of place. I understand that she is older and is more prone to this, but she didn’t just wake up in pain. She had a fall. That’s what accident insurance is for, and yet I paid the $870 vet bill out of pocket and won’t be receiving anything from the pet insurance claim. I have since canceled my policy, because what is the point of paying for it if they won’t reimburse your expenses?

Process was very clear.

Process was very clear. 4 instead of 5 stars because they indicated it would take about 2 weeks to process the claim, and it was closer to 4. But otherwise fine.
