This is so easy

I had used a different insurance for my previous dog--it was so hard to put in a claim; had to remember to bring form to vet and then fax it in. This is so easy to just submit on line the next day--I receive payment within 7-10 days!

Enabled us to give our pet the best care

Peanut was in heat and had started eating smaller meals. After approximately 4-5 days, she stopped eating. She was not her usual happy self - she had become mopey and lethargic so I called the emergency vet and let them know of my concern. I had an appt with her reg. vet the next day but luckily they told me they were concerned about her glucose levels due to her not eating. After we brought her in, they determined that she had a pyometra. The surgery was a success and she has now recovered from her ordeal (minus some of her shaved fur!). Her stitches were removed two days ago. I'm so happy that we caught the problem in time - I shudder to think what might have happened if we didn't. Peanut is my precious child - thank you so much for enabling us to give her the best care possible.
