Excellent Insurance

From the time I faxed my pet's claim in until the time the reimbursement was direct deposited into my account was about 5 working days. Excellent Insurance and caring fabulous customer care agents.

Pet's Best is just a business to make money and try not to pay out customer claims

I have paid so much money into this policy to Pet's Best, so that I would have coverage when needed. The policy pays 80% of accident, illness, injury after a $100 per incident deductible. I took my dog to the vet, due to her symptoms, they ran different tests and found a few areas to treat. Pet's Best considered that one visit to one vet on one day as 3 incidents and charged me for a deductible 3 times! Then subtracted what they considered "wellness" and paid 80% of the remaining bill. Brutal, dishonest, predatory, deceitful and disgraceful. Save your money for emergencies and skip the headache!

Warning, if your animal ever had a complaint prior to diagnoses they will deny your claim

Closed case because they said they did not get the pets file from vets when in turn they did and I had to re-open the case. They paid 67 dollars of 504 bill. So if your dog has ever had a complaint prior to being diagnosed they will say that they had it before and deny your claim. Total waste of money.
