Complete Disappointment

When I purchased this insurance, it was claimed to begin immediately with no waiting period which is why I selected this company over all the others. I took my newly adopted puppy into the vet due to kennel cough and submitted the claim. The mobile app to submit a claim is garbage, it crashes and glitches constantly. Then it took nearly 30 days to review and deny my claim. I received no updates for nearly 20 days about the process, and the update was an emailed apology for the delay in processing. I will be looking for new insurance.

I recommend Pets Best to everyone I know with pets. Not only is the coverage spectacular, the rates are reasonable and the reimbursement is timely. It has been a huge stress relief when seeking medical care for my pets to know that I have this insurance.

slow payment

Their coverage is good but the reimbursement time is slow and if you call them to get status on a claim all they say it could take 45 business days to finish claims. then once the claim is finished it another 5 days before its in your bank. but they know how to get your payment the day they need it
