Claims process is slow

Claims process takes quiet awhile regardless of what type of claim is submitted -even if you have all the proper paperwork. Typically have to wait 30-40 days to get processed. Occasionally receive a “delay in process” email on the 20th day. Good benefits but slower process.

Do not trust this insurance company

Do not trust this insurance company! They are dishonest and even manipulated the invoices from the Doctor claiming no coverage because Arianna passed away so claim is consider “ Post Mortem. “ They are taking your money and not paying claims we plan to file suit so they don’t don’t treat someone else the same way very dishonest company and we will expose them !!!

Pets Best never covers anything

Pets Best never covers anything. Always have a reason for not covering claims. Wouldn’t cover an ear infection saying that he has allergies which he does not. Then they keep going up on the policy rates. This time they went up by almost double what it was a year ago. From $ 54.00 a month to $91.00!! Seriously a scam.

Monthly Cost

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

Payout Limits

$5000 -Unlimited annual limit, depending on your chosen plan. Unlimited lifetime limits.

Deductible

$50 – $1,000 annually.
