I decided to sign up for pet insurance with PetCare after a friend told me about it, and I realized it wasn't a bad price, and that I could afford it! Only a few days after I signed up for PetCare coverage, my dog was hit by a car. Chelsea dislocated her hip and had a broken pelvis. I was pleased to see that Petcare paid the claim, even though I had only been signed up for a couple of days. She is doing really well now, and just today started running again. I have been telling all my friends about PetCare! Client: Kerrie Sanders Pet: Chelsea, German Sheppard, age 5 Condition: Motor Vehicle Accident Claim Paid: $1495.36 |
