I thought that overall it was a good experience. I thought it took a little while longer than expected when something was stuck on the Vet's side but when I called, I received and update and an offer to promptly follow up with the vet that was dragging their feet in sending what they needed. Great service overall!

My Velcro Boy died at a young five years. I have never been closer to anyone than to Beau, although there have been many dogs over the years. I moved Heaven and Earth to find the best Vets and treatment for him in the country, all to no avail. His death is a crushing blow, in every way; but it would have been even worse financially without the coverage provided by PB along the arduous path.

Not sure

I have cancer coverage for my Golden. She had her spleen removed. We did it because there were signs that it would have ruptured. So I was disappointed that we got ahead of what would have been cancer and it seems like they wanted me to wait till my dog had cancer before they would cover this. I thought how lucky we were that we were able to catch this before it killed her. Insurance said oh no you should have waited then we would have covered this. Terrible.
