Don’t waste your money

Don’t waste your money. I got the insurance for my puppy with the essentials coverage to cover the cost of shots or accidents. So far I have spent $58 bucks a month for nothing. They literally only covered the first couple shots and that was it. Looking back I should have signed up for Banfield. My friend got for her puppy and they covered ALL of her dog’s shots. Petsbest is a money hungry insurance company. Did not save me any money just took it.

Overly satisfied

I took my dog to vet for annual check up and maintenance. I'm overly satisfied with my insurance and their customer service. I entered 1 negative review and that is because I hit the wrong thing by accident. There is no back button to change it. I'm saddened to leave anything negative on my survey because I feel this company is EXCELLENT!

Couldn't be easier

The claim process for Pets Best couldn't be easier. I called customer service about a claim years ago, I was questioning coverage and if I should submit it. The rep told me just simply to enter every visit to the vet and they will determine reimbursement for me. That's what I have done and it has saved me thousands. I couldn't be more pleased.

Service was great

It was great to get an update by email that my claim was in the process of being completed but it may be a few days longer than expected. I was really happy with the service of this pet insurance after having pet insurance with two other providers. Service was great and process time is very quick!
