Pets Best and Bennie

My dog recently had 3 unexpected vet visits in a row and I was so thankful to have Pets Best during that time. It made all of the difference to know that they would be covering 80% of these visits. It took a lot of the stress off my shoulders and helped me just focus on making sure my dog was ok.

Claims with Pets Best

I am very happy with the claim process with Pets Best. Very easy to navigate online. Always quick response via email. I just noticed that the Claims are starting to take longer to process. That's my only criticism. I recommend PB to everyone with pets.

Would not recommend this company

I would never recommend this company to a friend or family. When submitting a claim they sit on it until you call several times over a 2 month period. Then they deny a claim because of a preexisting condition which my dog never had. I had a policy paid in full for the year and had my dog to a vet 3x in the last 5 years. Don’t walk but run from this company. When and if you would need them they wouldn’t pay up

Very simple

The process is very simple and clearly explained on line. My claim took longer then the expected 10 days but I was notified of the delay and there was no confusion.

Vet Checkup for Cora

On 10/25 took Cora to my vet for checkup after adoption from shelter on 10/9, and visit to emergency clinic on 10/10. Because of that visit I purchased Pets Best insurance to cover future expenses. To my surprise and very happy that Pets Best reimbursed the majority of my total cost that included office visit and prescribed meds. I purchased a plan that covers teeth cleaning, a wise decision since this is something Cora will need due to her being a stray. On-line claim processing was easy and quick.
