TERRIBLE COVERAGE and TERRIBLE CLAIMS PROCESS

Do not use Pet's Best. They take your money and after a month-long process of easy claims, they reject them for no reason. Put your money elsewhere.

Pets Best is my pet's best!!

We have had our beloved Gypsy since 2020, during the pandemic. She is a Lab / German Shepard mix with a little bit of anxiety and a whole lot of ear problems. She has regular, routine visits and then not-so-regular routine visits to both the dog ER and her regular vet. Each and every time, I receive my receipt, I turn it into Pets Best. Each and every time I submit a receipt, I get a prompt notification that it was received and then a prompt payment. No fuss, no muss, nothing to worry about. I submit the information and they handle it from there. Also, I do not always submit right away either. Sometime I will wait for 2-3 visits, before I submit. Never have I ever had Pets Best say to submit in a timely fashion. Again, I have nothing but positives to say for Pets Best. I would recommend Pet's Best to anyone with a pet.

Pets Best Comes Through!

I have had pet insurance on my two cats for almost two years now and thankfully haven't had to use it until recently. My cat was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism after her routine check-up. The treatment plan included a very expensive injection and a 5 day stay at the vet. From start to finish, it ended up costing $3,800. My first experience with this was starting a claim. It took about 2 minutes (not lying) and was hands down the simplest process I have ever been through. We waited about two weeks for the decision to be made. After our $500 deductible was met, they covered everything at 90%. I was pleasantly shocked that for once, a company actually delivers what they say they will. I hope to not use the insurance too much, but will always have it in case we need it. My Cindy Lou has made a full recovery and this necessary treatment has added years to her life. Thank you!

So glad I got insurance for my dog

I signed up for insurance for my dog back in 2019, when I first adopted him. I am very glad that I did, and that I chose the coverage I did, because now he has been diagnosed with cancer... Diagnosis and treatment has and will continue to be expensive, and had it not been for this insurance I would have had to put him down. He's my baby, and I'm just so grateful that I have this option.
