I had to emergency spend $428.00 on my dog eating green foxtails and them getting stuck behind a flap behind his tonsils for surgical removal. I was pleasantly surprised they refunded me back the majority of the money spent. I pay a high monthly premium but felt like they helped me out when I needed them. So has paid for itself. I've been happy for my dogs first year of coverage as they have helped even pay for his neutering. I'm very happy and had recommended this company's services to several of my friends and hair clients!

In less than a week, the payment was deposited to my account,
