They do an excellent job at reviewing claims in a timely manner. I haven’t had any issues with them and recommend them to all of my friends with pets.

Highly Recommend!

Honestly the best pet insurance company! Easy to file claims, great coverage for our two fur babies, and claims are processed so efficiently. For example I just filed a claim on Monday and it already was processed. Could not recommend enough!
