A policy that does what it says !!

We have a 11lb. Chihuahua that jumped from my van window while I was thankfully parked and also had previously purchased a Pets Best policy. She wanted to be with me so she didn't think anything about an obstacle standing in her way. The 1st day we saw no ramifications but the 2nd day she was "Stove up". So we searched until we found a great DVM Stephanie Simonson that also does chiropractic work on large and small animals. She has really helped our little 3yr old "Fur Baby". It has been a tremendous blessing having this insurance and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that has a pet and doesn't want to pay the full bill that the vet gives you !!

Absolutely the WORST service I have…

Absolutely the WORST service I have ever received since starting with your company. Normally processed within 5-7 days this time submitted September 16 and not processed until Oct 9 with no emails explaining what was taking so long. I chatted online with Customer Service who said being processed! Unhappy for the price I pay you each month and especially after you DOUBLED the premium after my dog was sick.
