Coverage that cares

After needing emergency care for my cat, it was an easy process to submit claims and the communication was within a reasonable amount of time and the reimbursement was a huge help. Overall a great 1st time experience . I am pleased I have this insurance for my Fur baby !

flea and tick claim

I submitted a claim for flea and tick care. The claim was initially declined, however, after calling and inquiring I was reimbursed up to my policy limit. Considering this is a yearly claim for the same product, I was a bit surprised.
