How long after i purchase coverage can i use the service?
Once you choose a billing option online, it takes about a week of information gathering from you and your current pet’s providers to devise an action plan for your pet. We will call you to get the details of your pet’s current care, phone numbers of current care providers, and your wishes for coverage. Then a Power of Attorney and Pet Trust contract will be sent to you by email. Upon receipt of that signed contract, we will begin coverage.
Why do i need your service?
We step in to help you if you have limited help close by. Sometimes it is difficult to count on family or friends to take care of your pet. We make sure your pet is cared for the way you want him to be. That should give you piece of mind.
