Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

All issues involving non-payment of Semi's bills have been resolved. I have to say that the representatives, including Geraldine, have gone out of their way to expedite payment of all claims ( which were quite modest) given the extensive testing Semi received. Geraldine called my home today to inquire about Semi, who was finally diagnosed with an allergy of unknown origin and who is completing a course of prednisone and is now on a very expensive Hypoallergenic Prescription diet (along with my other three cats, as they share a food bowl.) My suggestion is that all pet owners take home copies of the vet's notes so that they can be faxed or e-mailed along with the claim. If the pet has been treated in the last 18 months, these notes should also be included. It is disappointing that Pets Best does not cover prescription foods. Semi (and her cat friends) are now on Royal Canin HP, which costs $56.00 for a 7.7 pound bag and $115.00 (with vet discount) for a 17 pound bag.

My 6 year old labradoodle was diagnosed with elevated liver enzymes. He had to do a few blood work which were really expensive. Thank goodness we have PetsBest insurance. It really helps to get coverage for your pet. This is a very good pet insurance company. I'm so happy we have coverage for our dog. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I signed up for Pets Best when my vizsla was a puppy and was happy with the rate of $400/year with a $75 deductible. A year later I did need to use it and I was pleased with the prompt response when I did file a claim. But beware of the disclosure inI the policy that tells you that the premium rate is not guaranteed as your pet gets older. I have seen my premium triple. This year it went to $1200, with a $500 deductible. They said that it has nothing to do with claims made but my dog is 9 years old and had a knee replacement last year. Even with insurance I paid a lot out of pocket. I am canceling my policy rather than paying this huge increase.. When my dog is getting older and I had expected to have insurance for a serious illness, I can't afford it and may not be able to care for my dog when she really needs it.

My beagle mix has been chewing on his feet.It turned out he had a yeast infection between his pads that was driving him crazy

I was skeptical about pet insurance when I started and for sure the first company I signed up with was a joke. But I have been with PetsBest for about 6 years now and have had every claim paid quickly and effeciently!
