Very user friendly

The claims process is very user friendly and I received a prompt response. It would be beneficial if the claim that was mailed listed what my deductible is and what my plan covers.

Always have a great experience

I always have had a great experience with pets best. I am a believer ever since having a dog with serious health issues and pets best took care of him all the way until his passing and now with my new puppy that gets into everything pets best is there too!

Great pet insurance but call before doing procedures

Easy to make claims on line and easy to work with. I was really disappointed that the neutering and dental cleaning was an either/or coverage. Had That been clearer in the policy, I would have done one last year and one this year. I'm pretty upset by the fact that I now have to pay full price for one.

Claims

I was very disappointed by Petsbest. They have so far denied the claim and I am in the appeal process. My dog had an accident causing a significant injury. Petsbest and their veterinarians are arguing this is a illness with significant lack of evidence to prove so. The appeal process has been very frustrating as they have shown poor communication. Specifically, they did not send out the decision for the most recent appeal. I would not recommend Petsbest.
