This company is a fraud and a joke

This company is a fraud and a joke. They will take your money but will not pay out on claims. The customer service agent hung up on me. They are only good for taking your money. This company should be sued for defrauding their clients. Do not use this company. My claim got rejected from Dec 31 because of a vet visit on Nov 10 and they said it was a pre existing condition. I do not need to deal with this. Absolute sham of a company.

Easy

It was very easy to submit a claim and though the reimbursement was a bit on the slow side, it was within 30 days, which didn't bother me. The EOB was clear and easy to understand, but I did have to go and look at my policy because I didn't remember what my deductible or percentage covered amount was. After reading many horror stories online about pet insurance's that refused to pay for instances that one would assume would be covered, I was happy to receive reimbursement without a problem. I'll be interested in seeing if my premiums go up after this.

So glad I got Pets Best insurance! You never know what can happen with your pet and it’s gives me peace of mind to know that I have this. Takes about 3 to 4 weeks to get your money back which isn’t horrible.. I’m overall very happy with the service and the company
