Terrible experience

In my experience in dealing with this company, they search for any possible loop holes that could present an opportunity to deny benefits. Even when presented eloquently with data and several documents from specialists in the field as well as confirmation from my family vet, they still denied claims much to everyone's surprise. Everything at this point would be pre-existing and thus pointless to switch, otherwise i would have a long time ago. In the future I will be more careful about who i choose to do business with.

Customer service is specific to your area code

So far our experience has been good. If you are from Ontario with a Quebec area code, you will be transferred to an Ontario rep. Unfortunately, they will not be able to help you and you will have to wait again on hold for help once they transfer you.
