Terrible pet insurance

I recently filed a claim with Pets Best Insurance. They denied my claim, stating there was a 14 day grace period for injuries. My dog injured her leg approximately a week after the policy went into affect. I look at my policy that they sent me and it clearly states a 3 day grace period for injuries. I was seeking reimbursement for the pain medication prescription, which was also covered under my policy. They denied my claim. There was no disputing this claim, as the girl just kept reading me obviously a written denial letter. Nothing but a scam insurance company. They gladly accept your monthly payments, but when it's time to pay a claim, they find every excuse to get out of paying a claim. Wish I had read the Yelp Reviews on this company before purchasing insurance, they only have a 2 star rating, I wouldn't give them that much credit!!

Customers Beware!! Do not honor policy

I recently filed my first claim with this company. They denied the claim stating a 14 day grace period, which the policy clearly states a 3 day grace period for an injury!! They denied the prescription reimbursement for pain medicine. Which was also covered under the policy. There was no arguing with the lady, she just kept saying the same written message for all claims, denied!!!! I cancelled my policy with this company, obviously they want your monthly premium but find any and all excuses to not pay anything! Once again I have the policy downloaded and it clearly states a 3 day grace period!
