My dog ate a rock!

My dog dug up a rock and accidently ate it. It was stuck in his intestines for 3 days, and wouldn’t pass. He wasn’t eating or drinking during that time. It was such a relief knowing he had insurance, that there was no doubt about not doing surgery when the Emergency Vet recommended it. He probably would have died from infection otherwise. The claim process is so easy. You just download the Vet bill and hit submit. The claim is then deposited into my bank acct. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the claim took over 4 weeks to process, otherwise they are great!

Remi is a healthy 4 year old dog and out of the blue came down with a fever and started bleeding out of his nose. Luckily, he is ok now with it just being that he sniffed something up his nose and dislodged it on his own, but when it was happening the last thing I could think of was how we were paying for all of it. Thankfully we have Pets Best so we didnt have to worry as much knowing that most of it would be covered. Thank you SO much for everything you guys do and helping Remi out!
