Choosing the right plan for my pet was easy and stress-free. The whole experience was straightforward and really helpful. Even my dog sat right beside me, relaxed, while I signed up and checked prices—a sign we both felt good about it!

Their system lost my claims 10 of them

Their system lost my claims 10 of them. When I asked to resubmit. They told me it's too late to try again. If it was your system that screwed up. Why can't you fix it? Totally defeats the purpose of having insurance. Literally a years worth of claims down the drain.

Well care claim

My second claim. The first went fine and they sent checks. This time they tell me "the check is in the mail" and should take 7-10 days.....really? Very disappointed. We signed up for well care, they paid 80.00 for a 450.00 bill. 80.00 is 3 months of payment for Toby.

Bivvy cancelled my dog’s insurance at…

Bivvy cancelled my dog’s insurance at his one year mark. He’s getting older and he’s a big boy, so he’s been having some issues with his back hips and legs. Upon speaking with Bivvy they informed me if I can wait another month for surgery until he hit his one year mark, they would begin coverage for orthopedic conditions. So I waited the month, now coming up on his one year mark I went to schedule the appointment and found that his insurance would be cancelled at the one year mark. They suggested I move his coverage to spot and upon calling spot I was informed I would have to wait six months before orthopedic conditions are covered and because his has already been realized, it is pre-existing and will not be covered. So now I’m completely heartbroken and completely out of luck. I paid for this insurance for a year for nothing and now I have no choice but to pay for the surgery entirely out of pocket even though I did everything in my power to have insurance for him. Do not use this company they will screw you over.

Hi Bailey, we're sorry to see you're disappointed! Bivvy is non-renewing all pets at the end of their policy term, so this wasn't a decision tied specifically to your pet. We wish you and your pup the very best!

Stay away from this DISHONEST and SHADY company

I submitted a claim for a condition which symptoms first appears in March of 2021. My Bivvy policy started in October of 2020. Bivvy is saying this is a preexisting condition. The injury occurred 4 months after our policy started! Unbelievable. Total scam.

UPDATE: I reached out to Bivvy regarding the denial and their false preexisting condition claim. They are now claiming the condition started in April of 2020 a full 11 months prior to when the initially claimed the condition first occurred. Regardless both claims are false. They seem to be throwing out dates to see what will stick and when I question their reasoning the change their story. SERIOSULY, stay away from this dishonest and shady company.

Dropped me after my second claim!

I was happy with this insurance and have been a customer for approximately 3 years. This year, my 7 year old goldendoodle had a injury to her back leg. Bivvy honored the contract, I met my deductible and had an easy reimbursement from Bivvy for their portion of the claim. One month later, I get a email saying they are dropping my dog for coverage for no reason. Now I can't get any other insurance on her because this would be a pre-existing condition. I would say, look elsewhere for your pet insurance.

Now that our dog is 12 they suddenly cancelled our insurance plan. They didn’t even give a reason. Just as of June it won’t renew. Beware if your dog is getting old

Wonderful People, Great Experiences

For my sweet Gracie, the only claim I had to file was for treatment, euthanasia, and cremation in her last 36 hours of life. The deductible was taken out plus the copay. It was a great help during one of the worst experiences of my life. The responding email from Bivvy expressed condolences on my loss and was a sweet surprise and a comfort. My Sadie is 8 months, I’ve had her for 4. She’s already had 2 claims, one for an after hours emergency. My vet has more than doubled their emergency fee! It matched my deductible, but the rest was covered, except for my copay. It has been a very simple and quick process with my claims. I’ve looked at other pet insurance companies, and I simply can’t afford their premiums. As well, the negative reviews have been horrendous! And a lot require the deductible on every claim, and also raise premiums without notice! I’m a retired Paramedic with PTSD (Gracie was my service dog for nearly 10 of her 12 years), and hopefully Sadie will be as well. I am staying with Bivvy! I’ve been very happy with them so far! Especially during the loss of my Gracie.

I liked Bivvy while I had it, make sure you can get an invoice...not a receipt

I liked Bivvy while I had it. They paid the smaller claims when all I submitted was a receipt showing all the required info. But, when I submitted a larger claim, the receipt (3 pages with all required info) suddenly was not good enough and claim was denied. Bivvy stated they need a detailed invoice, which my vet does not use, and I was never required to have previously. I cancelled the policy the same day when I left a message with customer service... I did not receive a call back. Not worth the frustration.

Hi Kyle, we're sorry to see you're disappointed! We do require an itemized invoice, which is shared when you file a claim online. We'd be happy to work with you and your vet on this further should you change your mind. Reach out to us at team@bivvy.com or give us another call.

Bivvy Cancelled Our Policy

I am saddened to write this review. Bivvy canceled our policy after we submitted several claims to them for our dog. She had a partial tear in her ACL. We took a holistic approach, purchased a brace, and took her to the vet for laser therapy and acupuncture. This saved Bivvy thousands of dollars they would have paid if we chose knee surgery for our dog. I was very delighted Bivvy covered the brace and treatments. But was very disappointed when they canceled Sadie's pet insurance. I recommend finding a more reliable pet insurance company with a long-term history of support for your fur babies. Sadie is now out of her brace and no longer needs treatments and her other knee has stayed strong and healthy.

Hi Heather, thanks for reaching out! We've contacted you to help you better understand Sadie's policy status. Sadie's policy is set to close and is unrelated to Sadie's claim history. Please reach back out if we can help you further!

Acknowledging their mistakes

*UPDATE*
They have since reviewed the original claim and approved it after acknowledging the mistake on their end. Still unnecessarily stressful for me but glad they fixed the issue.

They abuse the fine writing. My dog had a hip issue and they covered it. Issue happened again and needed surgery and they refused to cover it this time while claiming its a "pre-existing" condition although they covered the original accident. They are totally useless. Not worth it, get anyone else.

Hi Ravi, we're sorry to see you're disappointed! We share before and during the sign up process that there's an annual deductible associated with Shadow's policy. Your recent claim didn't surpass your $250 annual deductible which is why it wasn't paid. This was also explained in your claim decision email too. We're sorry to see this caught you by surprise! Reach out if we can help you further.

I think it’s hard for us to have you take the payment every month sometimes we just have to wait until we get our other bills pay, you should give themselves little time before they have you take the amount out of their accounts

Overall very good…

Lots of red tape over preexisting conditions—a bit beyond what I would consider normal, BUT once you get past that it is excellent coverage and well worth it. I purchase it and would recommend Bivvy for all pet owners.
