Prompt response time.

I took Duffy for a check-up, and she a in good shape the doctor ordered a blood panel to check all her organs, the charge for that was 90.00, and my insurance paid 70.00 of it, great. The visit was paid, the micro chipping was paid. I was happy with the prompt response from pets Best. Keep up the good work. Donna Luke

Read the fine print!

My dog had a rare parasite/fluke (Nanophyetus salmincola) - apparently associated with salmon poisoning (no idea how he got this but possibly being out in a lake). The vet put my pup on medication that was quite expensive to treat this life threatening condition. Pet's best denied my claim (and subsequent appeals) since the medication is not on their 'formulary list'. There was no alternative medications available and my vet provided a letter stating why my dog needed this medicine that cost several hundred dollars. Read the fine print - Pets best will find a way to not pay your claim if you incur an expensive vet pill. Please do not support this company that clearly cares more about the bottom line than providing care for your pet.
