STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY

They will take your money month after month and when your pet gets sick, they won't cover any of it. Paid 650$ for a vet visit (my dog had a cough) and got 0$ back because of some bogus loophole policy. Very upsetting. I'm switching to Trupanion as I've heard MUCH better things from their clients.

Don't do it! Scam

Stay away from this company. We didn't even get to a point where we could use the insurance and we realized they are a scam and only care about money. We have 5 cats and decided to look into getting insurance for them. Things started off fine. The rate for all 5 was reasonable and it seemed like a great idea. Then the problems started. First off we have two 11 year old cats and we were told they needed recent blood work and urine analysis to be insured. We mentioned how getting urine from these two cats is impossible as we've been told by are vet they are too fat to get urine and they refuse to use a litter box that has beads in it. We told the rep this when setting the insurance up. She then said it's up to the underwriter and led us to believe we could still get insurance without the urinalysis if the blood work was good. So off to the vet for blood work and exam costing $480. Then after sending all our documents in we are told they won't cover those two cats without the urinalysis. Lovely so we spent money getting the blood work for nothing. But you know what? I understand it's a risk to them so I'm fine with them not covering. My problem is they charged us for two months of insurance for these two cats and refuse to credit us back. They rather keep my $80 and risk bad reviews and me telling everyone I know not to use them. Seems smart to me. The fact the won't even do a good faith credit for this tells me they will be impossible to deal with when we actually do need to put in a claim. Also be aware of what your Vet has written about your animal before dealing with this company. They will use anything written as a way to get out of covering your animal. My vet wrote that one cat may have throat polyps due to her breathing on one visit. The cat was never tested and doesn't have throat polyps she is just anxious at the vet. Petsecure used that statement to exclude covering any respiratory issues with that cat. Save your money folks. Giant Scam!

Rude, Cold and Slimy.

Petsecure refused all claims for our 7 month old kitten who had to be put down due to FIP (a rare degenerative, viral, kitten disease. Kittens with it do not become adult cats). Their reasoning was that it was a pre-existing condition, despite the kitten having a clean bill of health up until the day he had blood work done to find out why he was acting weak and uncoordinated. I submitted claims for his diagnostics, his medications, and his eventual euthanasia and cremation, of which I received $0.00, and when I pushed, argued, guilted, and eventually cancelled my plan for both my cats, I received a $0.81 (yes, 81 cent) payout from them.

Being treated like an idiot

After the deductible of $200, $43 non-insured item and 80% co-pay I will get less than 50% of the bill total. I would never tell anyone to use Petsecure!

Angry As Heck!!!

I have been with Petsecure for 14 years with very little problems until my cat got sick back in December. Within two weeks my baby was dead from Cancer. Over 30 days, 4 Claims and $3,300.00 later...I am still waiting. After being reassured by both Amanda & Paul that they have the claims, I think they erroneously paid the Hospital instead of me???? NO EXPLAINATION!
