The Best for My Pet!

Pets Best is THE insurance to get for your pet! We have had a policy since our girl was a year old. Processing claims is so easy...just fill in the form, attach your bills, and hit send. In less than a week the claim is processed and your reimbursement directly deposited. We worry enough about our babies when they're ill or have an accident. It's comforting to know we don't need to worry about recovering medical bills. They cover breed specific issues not usually covered by other companies. And they are always friendly, knowledgable and compassionate when you need to call for info.

Quick Claim Process

I took my dog in because she was dehydrated and not eating or drinking. I submitted the invoice on Tuesday and got an email Thursday letting me know my claim had been processed and I would be getting reimbursed. This was much faster than the first time I submitted a claim, which took nearly three weeks to process. However, Pets Best was very responsive and the customer service folks did a good job explaining why it was taking so long. The claims process is also very easy.

SCAM

Do not buy Pet's Best Pet Insurance. It is a scam. My pet accidentally hurt himself when he didn't land properly when he jumped. Even though the insurance says accident is covered, they lied. They said my cat's limp is caused by a congenital condition (by definitely means something you are born with). No matter what your claim is, they will make is seem like it is not covered. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!! Instead of this company paying the claim, they would rather lose a 15-year potential customer as well as all the pet owners and organizations I have affiliations with.
