Dachshund Insured

I purchased this insurance because I thought it was the most comprehensive at a reasonable price. My greatest concern was if my dog gets sick or injured. I wanted an unlimited cap. I chose the higher deductible, with a 90% payout to save money.

Care.com Pet Insurance Is a Scam

Prudent Pet Insurance Is a Scam. They Lied and Took My Money I’m absolutely disgusted by the experience I had with Care.com’s pet insurance. When I signed up, I went out of my way to provide them with years of detailed medical history for my pets. I specifically asked if they had everything they needed to ensure there would be no surprises when it came time to file a claim. They told me everything was good to go. I trusted them, big mistake. Fast forward to my first claim, and suddenly they’re telling me they don’t have enough medical records , that my pets didn’t have the “required” recent exams within the past year. This was never mentioned during sign-up, and it directly contradicted what I was told. Basically, they lied to me for months, happily taking my money the whole time, only to pull this bait-and-switch when I actually needed coverage. The entire process felt deliberately designed to avoid paying out legitimate claims. It’s clear Care.com’s pet insurance is nothing more than a cash grab. They are completely untrustworthy, and I would never recommend them to anyone who actually cares about their pets. Do not fall for it. You’re better off putting your monthly premium into a savings account, at least then you’ll actually be able to use it when your pet needs care. UPDATE TO THEIR RESPONSE: No where has this ever been started as a pre-existing condition. If it had, I wouldn't be calling you a fraud. Nice try. This company is disgraceful.
