I've had this plan since we adopted my girl she had an accident when she was playing in the yard chasing butterflies and popped her knee cap out and it wouldn't stay in after rest and meds I made the call to get back with her vet and have surgery although it took a bit longer to get reimbursed but it covered all that was expected after the deductible was met and have never had an issue yes they went up on the cost by just a few bucks more a month which isn't bad although I wish it would pay the bill up front instead of reimbursement

Better options elsewhere

Really just doesn’t cover all that much. I pay for the wellness and preventative coverage option, but nothing is ever reimbursed. There are other pet insurance companies out there that have much better wellness reimbursements.
