No Hassle Efficient claims

I have claimed 2 times for my French Bulldog in the last 3 years. Both times I submitted the claims were reimbursed extremely fast. The first time our dog was suffering with pancreatitis. Sent off $1200 with all the appropriate documentation fro our usual vet and was reimbursed with no issues what so ever within a week. Just had another very large claim Dec2023. Total was over $12k due to emergency cervical spine disc removal (IVDD) at an emergency hospital by a team of veterinary neurologists. Again I submitted all supporting documents and within a week I was reimbursed the amount based off my policy limits and deductibles. No hassle no problems. My monthly premium is not outrageous and have never had any trouble at all with my Pets Plus coverage. I would absolutely recommend them.

Insurance Review

Pets Plus Us has provided us medical coverage for almost 2 years now. Our 2.5 year old Frenchie has required a number of (thankfully) mostly small treatments/procedures. Coverage and exclusions were made relatively clear, and all claims made that we expected to be covered (based on the policy) were covered with approval usually only taking a few days. Anytime we called in for assistance, the staff have been knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful, including advising us to submit claims even when we were in doubt as to coverage. At least once we did receive coverage when we were worried we might not, resulting in a pleasant surprise.

Run, don’t walk, away from PetsPlus

After reading reviews and the responses from the PetsPlus company, I immediately tried to cancel my new policy. The 1 800 number for Canada does not work - tried 3 times over the last 10 days. 3 emails sent over 1 and a half weeks have gone unanswered. However, the first payment for the policy was withdrawn from my bank account 2 days after I set up the policy. Clearly, money not service and the health of pets is the company priority despite all the sugary sentiments expressed about love of pets.

Our experience with PetsPlusUs

This company has been very helpful with the insurance for our dog's, Charlie's, health issues. I do find that speaking with a representative is much more satisfying and efficient than using e-mail or on-line chat. Having the ability to pay directly to the vet for major bills (2 surgeries) has reduced stress levels for me to just worrying about the dog, not about how to be able to pay. the PetsPlusUs team has been great to work with. I would recommend that getting the Accident and Illness Plan rather than just an accident plan is well worth the additional cost.
