I absolutely love Pets Best!

I absolutely love Pets Best and I have recommended them to all of my friends and family. They respond to claims quickly and in a timely manner and communicate any delays. I have used their Whiskerdocs as well which was very helpful.

The process takes months for results…

The process takes months for results and I had to resubmit and do appeal claims, which was a hassle. It has been a stressful process working with Pets Best.

Run don't walk from these guys.

Should have read the fine print before selecting Pets Best. You submit a claim and they look for any small print to not pay. For example, my dog had a pre-existing condition ( as they described it) on her left leg. So, no coverage, ever for that. She injured her right leg while roughhousing and they would not cover xrays or medication to diagnose the injury because they consider the legs to be one in the same. Just BS; if I break my right arm, it has no impact on the left. Will drop them like a rock now.

PB comes through again

I’m giving 5 stars even though the submit claim action on the app was not working. That is usually not the case. Usually very easy to submit a claim and the direct deposit is convenient. My premiums are going up a lot this year but they are still at a competitive rate and PB has always come through. Recommend to every pet owner.
