There is nobody that answers their phone. No online access. An absolute nightmare and I am sorry to have signed up with them and after less than a year I am leaving. There are many other choices for a pet insurance. I recommend that you find any other than this one.

Fast and easy claims submitting process. Processed claim in less than a month, which is better than the industry norm.

Absolutely horrible customer service

Absolutely, some of the worst customer service I’ve ever received in my entire life. I’ve been misinformed or lied to every time I’ve called in. I’ve made BBB complaints and asked for call backs from supervisors. The agents at the company just get passive aggressive and give you an attitude when you question them about misspeaking. I was told twice you’d rewrite my policy with no lapse after originally canceling due to poor customer service. My account was not rewritten properly and was mishandled due to me having another claim and not wanting to pay. An account manager even told me they could but then said she misspoke. I’m unfortunately going to have to be filing in small claims. Highly advise to avoid this company.

Wait time on phone was 45 minutes

Wait time on phone was 45 minutes. This is pretty bad when most companies now have the option to get a call back when a agent becomes available. Then changed my email address but now I can't log in to my account. Another 45 minutes on hold. Seriously something needs to change.
