Outstanding service

My dog had a cut on his paw a few days before Thanksgiving. It became infected and I had to take him to the Vet. He received an injection and antibiotic pills. And Pets Best insurance very fairly reimbursed me for part of the costs. I don't know what I would have done without this insurance. I got this coverage when my dog was a puppy just to protect him from accidents. I never thought I would keep it since he's already 6 years old but I am truly glad that I did. All kinds of minor illnesses keeps coming up. Lab works are very expensive. So thank you Pets Best Insurance. You're the best!

They refuse to cover anything - waste of money

I had high hopes for this insurance and signed up both my cats for it. The very first claim for each cat was denied, for ridiculous reasons. I am going to switch to another provider.

Very satisfied with Pets Best

I have been with Pets Best since 2009, and overall my experience has been a very good one. The representatives are very pleasant, I get reimbursed in a short amount of time, and to have this insurance gives me reassurance in affording my dogs' healthcare. I find Pets Best costs to be reasonable, as compared to other companies. It's essential to have Pet Coverage, because we all know how expensive a vet visit can be.

n ot good comminication with my vet

I have no trouble about how you pay or when however, my vet cannot fax you. It comes back every time that it will not go through. This is an extra burden on them. They have no other trouble with any other faxes they send. I wish this could be remedied. It is frustrating for me and them. The claims could go through much quicker as I have to go to another town to get the information and fax myself.
