Pets Best was with us.

Piper would act like he was hacking up a hairball from time to time but never did we see a hairball. After X-rays the vet said asthma was the cause. We tried a couple meds and hopefully it looks like this latest one is helping him pretty well, with attacks being much less this month, so far. (fingers crossed). All through this process Pets Best was with us, covering and reimbursing what we think is very fair and helpful. I recommend it to anyone with pets and always remember a co-worker who had a dog that needed emergency surgery months after I told them about Pets Best. But, they never got the insurance and had an almost $5000 bill for the surgery. Submitting claims is easy and website is very straight forward and simple to use. Thanks

Less than forthcoming

I am an honest person and would not try to take advantage of a company or anyone but I must say i felt Pest best did that to me. I fully disclosed my dogs history when I got my insurance, this includes and surgery in his left rear leg. Well as it happens a few MONTHs mind you into his time with Pets Best he needed surgery on his right leg. I was paranoid so I called to make sure they would cover me. I thought surely its no problem, no we wont cover that. The explanation given was it was considered a bilateral condition. A, injury to a separate leg in a ligament considered bilateral? Ok, so what good is this insurance? If you tore your ACL would Elis cross say we wont cover your other leg? They left me with a $3000 bill. If they had told me up front at least I would know. I canceled immedialtley
