Very good experience

I was hesitant about pet insurance, but when I went through thousands for my old guy, I put insurance on the younger two cats. I researched ALOT and chose PetsBest. So far I've put in claims twice and each one was taken care of without any issues. I'm pleasantly surprised!

Cancel, not here to take care of you or your pet.

I work in healthcare. A deformity that the animal was born with should NEVER be considered pre-existing. We rescued my dog and didn’t know what was wrong with him, we were told it was a broken bone that healed wrong initially, but because we had diagnostic tests done now it’s considered preexisting even though it is a VERY common deformity. It’s said that this claim was denied, it shows you are not in it to take care of your customers. I’ll be cancelling my policy as it’s obvious that you’re not in it to take care of members.

Total scam

They have so many wonderful loopholes to ensure they never have to pay out claims for your pet. And dont forget about the deductibles for every category of coverage that has to be met before you get paid back. Honestly they are the worst.
