Recommended Pets Best to other dog owners

What I submitted wasn't covered by the policy. We appreciate the quick response to the claims we have submitted and the ease at filing a claim. We have already recommended Pets Best to other dog owners.

Safety Net for Your Pet

My 8-week old puppy went for his first checkup. I have the Per’s Best Wellness plan, in addition to their accident and illness plan. Making a claim was as simple as taking a pic of the bill. Money was direct deposited in my account three days later. Highly recommend!!

HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE COMPANY!!!

This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They are more than happy to take your money on your premiums but when it comes to paying claims they will look for any loophole and deny every claim! I even talked to a representative prior to purchasing this policy about specific coverage and then when I tried to submit a claim they denied every one citing pre-existing condition. In addition if your pet gets sick with the same thing more than 2x in an 18 month period they won't pay. Steer clear -- save your money!!

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.
