Love my dog insurance

Pets Best is an awesome pet insurance company. I've never had pet insurance before, so I read reviews and shopped around. I just had a feeling with this company and so I went with them and I am happy I did.

Pets Best insurance has been a life saver for us. We have 2 English mastiffs that unfortunately needed to be treated for respiratory issues and pneumonia at the same time. Claims were easy to upload and taken care of in a timely manor.

Buyer Beware

Pet’s Best insurance is AWFUL!! What they cover is peanuts! For example, they only pay $50 for an office visit. My vets office visits are $81 so that leaves $31 I have to pay out of pocket. So advertising that the pay 90% is an absolute false! Also, it takes them over a month to process a claim. After waiting all that time and paying the insurance premiums, they only paid $150 for my dogs teeth cleaning. I upgraded to the Wellness plan to have this covered. They didn’t pay the anesthesia or for his labs saying it was a preexisting condition. How can teeth cleaning be a preexisting condition?!? Please beware of this company and go elsewhere. I wish I did!
