I had to take my dog to the vet as she was having some breathing issues, I knew I had to wait 12 days for the insurance to cover the policy, anyway I called to the insurance and the lady told me over the phone that I could start a claim and the claim department will make the decision . On the 13 day after I subscribed to the insurance I took my dog to the vet again , the 12 days grace period had past already and my dog was covered, I took my dog because she has a lump in the joint if her leg and the shoulder so I open the claim for both visits 4 weeks after. On Monday I received an email from PHI telling me that my dog is not covered as the breathing pelriblrm she had was already a past condition ( she had kennel cough last year ) I don’t think the problem she has now has nothing to do with that condition from the past year and the lump in her leg was not there before. They made the decision and they will not cover both visits. I am looking for other insurance provider for my dog.

My cat's policy was cancelled simply because I got a new credit card — and PHI has no way to update payment information online. The only option was to call, but every time I tried, it was outside their limited business hours. As a result, I was told I had to start a new policy from scratch, pay a $40 registration fee, and that my original $36/month rate was not guaranteed. All of this could have been avoided with even the most basic online account tools, which every other modern provider offers. Customer service was unhelpful and rigid, showing no concern for retaining clients. I’ve now switched to a provider that offers proper digital support and flexibility. Would not recommend PHI Direct.
