I've never had any problems

I've never had any problems with getting something back for the vet expense so I'm quite satisfied.

We HATE Pest Best!!!

Pet’s Best is more like Pets worst! They declined our claim after over a month of asking us for back up files. We took our dog to emergency 1 time in her life last month and she was diagnosed with Bronchitis which is fluid in her lungs. She was give medicine and she is now fine. They denied this claim based on ya taking our dog a few years ago to her vet for reverse sneezing. We appealed the claim with the Dr’s help and a letter saying these issues are un related and still nothing! We are canceling this policy and Visa is filing fraud against this based on our evidence they refused to do there part in our contract. She has no preexisting water in her lungs hence pets best failed us in contract. We felt the over 40 day process here and lack of communication to be terrible. We have another person canceling there policy too now. They were also denied an ER visit for no reason. They don’t care about pets. Only money!!

Upload was easy via app. Payment took about a week which isn't bad per se, but that is much longer than I was advised
