I Just Got A Baby Pug, Lola Rose....

I just got a baby pug, Lola Rose. I was told that they have sinus issues so I purchased doggie insurance. She received her first booster, I submitted the claim online and received a check in the mail within the time disclosed. It didn't take a lot of time to submit the claim which was very nice.

Although the prices continue to increase, when I have a claim or problem, the ease of use and rapid response is well worth it.

Don't want to pay claims

I have had problems with this company for the last 5 months. Denying saying not covered do my dog had the problem before coverage started. My dog did have dermatitis but it's for a different reason. The vet wrote a letter starring this. They can't get this through their head. I am really fed up with this company. I well say the reps you get on the phone deserve a 10.

Claim Submitted To Be Applied To ...

Claim submitted to be applied to my deductible, thus was denied--as expected. Not a problem. Turnaround time was quick and I understood the decision. So the processing of my claim was A-OK. The only suggestion I have is that when claims are applied to deductible, you should tell us how much is left on our deductible after this claim instead of making us call you to find out. I still don't know how much of my deductible I have met and how much I still have to meet because I haven't had time to call you yet. Please fix this. Thanks.
