Came through when it mattered
We have only made our monthly payments and have not needed to make a claim but when we did, it was a little slow to be processed but was crystal clear and given it was an actual emergency we got our funds via direct deposit within 2 days of approval. Very clean w/ little to now paperwork at all.

App is easy to use and once you get…
App is easy to use and once you get your claim back it is easy to understand. My only complaint (more of constructive criticism) is that claims can take a long while to process. When wondering if it will even be covered, it can be difficult just waiting for weeks to get a response. That said, when I reach out asking for an update I was quick to get a response, albeit a little vague. Still, given staffing and increased number of pets, this is understandable. I would still recommend to others!

Easy to work with
Easy to work with! Claims have generally been quick, preventative items are faster than illness/injury claims, but that's to be expected. They issued a payment within 30 days on our dog's overnight emergency care which costs us ~$1500, to see the claim approved just 4 weeks later we were surprised.

I’m so glad we had pet insurance!!!
My puppy broke her leg and required an Emergency visit followed by surgery. I was pleased with the coverage and how much reimbursement we received. I thought I would have a lot of back and forth to have the claim adjusted properly but the claim was paid correctly right away. It took longer than expected but I know there has been an large spike in people getting pets during the COVID-19 pandemic so I anticipate claims are higher in volume and it has impacted processing time.
