I'm an obsessive researcher and wasn't convinced that pet insurance was something even worth paying for. After a few weeks of comparing plans I went with Desjardins because they actually are the best value for the money. They offer way more coverage at every level than their competitors including dental and preventive plans that put places like trupanion to shame, are about half the cost, and also have a lower deductible - which is good when you're unemployed like I am. While my policy was still coming into effect my puppy had 2 non related accidents, both requiring emergency vet care and one hospitalization. The bills were steep and I was worried I would not be able to claim but Desjardins simply deferred my claims, processing and approving both within a day or so of my policy activating. The form is so simple and doesn't require any special knowledge to fill out. Staff are actually friendly and laid back, and company policy seems more in line with approving claims. It's the only time I haven't felt scammed by an insurance company!
I wanted to leave a review with this company, Because I am very pleased with the customer service
