When your dog is over 8 they raise your rate

My dog turned 8 last year, and my insurance rate went up 10 dollars. This year when he turned 9, it went up almost 15 dollars. I never used the insurance and have had it for 4 years. I finally canceled and they didn't even put up a fight which leads me to believe they wanted me to cancel.

Would choose another company

I stayed with the same company but chose an annual deductible policy instead of per incident and my dog had TPLO surgeries on the prior policy. I took him in for exam and xrays because if what I thought was knee problem and they denied stating pre existing. Now I cant change because he has hypothyroidism and no other comoany will pay. Typical insurance, do whatever they can to not pay

Great Company Helped us through a tough time.

We took our baby girl to the vet without a bit of worry about how to pay. We could concentrate on getting our baby girl better. Unfortunately she is now in doggie heaven. Pets Best made it so much easier by promptly paying the bill and canceling the policy with a refund. I will be back when we can recover enough foe a new dog. Thank you Pets Best.
