“Awesome pet insurance provider”

This year has been extra hard on me regarding vet visits with my dog. Based on the policy I chose, I feel that ManyPets insurance options are extremely fair, and my monthly premium is reasonable. I have made multiple claims against the insurance this year, and each time, ManyPets has processed my claims very rapidly. They are fair with regards to coverage, and they pay out approved claims reimbursements very quickly. The process to submit claims is very easy to understand.
