Thank you for helping ONYX the Pug

I have been with PetsBest for Onyx my Pug for many years.Thankfully he has remained in good health; and I think the last time with the exception of March 8, and the week after I had to use insurance was over 5+ years ago. I am Thankful that I have it, but found the process a little more time consuming them from years ago. All and All the CS team called the Emergency Hospital, and explained about an itemized bill when I lost patience with them; only to have to go back the week after, and them ( the hospital) finally getting the point about the bill. Anyway that was excellent CS service, which I am Thankful for. Lastly as Onyx turns 10 in August; I have to weigh my options for which plan I can afford , with what deductible......

Gone downhill

We have 4 dogs. We used to be very happy with this insurance plan. At last renewal, our premiums literally doubled and every claim is denied. What they classify as wellness vs. illness is interesting to say the least. The claim process has considerably (underline this word) slowed. And the website does not allow you to update or add to a claim. It gives you the tabs, but they don't work. I have tried numerous times. Pets Best will be losing our business when the policy comes up for renewal. There are many other companies out there with much better coverage.

My cat has better insurance than i do

I would never be without this insurance. Each time I had to use it, they handled it very smoothly. My cat has digestive issues and pancrease issues and without this insurance, I don't know what i would do. This is a must have.

Dental Extractions for My Dog

I believe i have one of your top policies. I pay over $400 a month for my two dogs. One of them had to have 9 dental extractions as well as a general dental cleaning. I paid the veterinarian over $900 for this procedure. My claim paid me $100. I do not understand why dental extractions were not covered for a larger amount.I am very angry about the results of the claim process. I have had my policy for my two dogs with you for over 8 years and have always been satisfied until now.I have referred other pet owners to you and have told my veterinarian I thought you company was great. Now I am rethinking all of that.

Pets Best is one of the best decisions I have made

This is a duplicate review. The first review may not have made it through because of a computer error. I enrolled my dog Daisy in the Pets Best program to be able to think only about what is best for Daisy in the event of a health crisis. Such a crisis has occurred and Pets Best has lived up to its commitment 100 percent, taking the weight of financial concerns entirely off my shoulders. I will always be grateful to Pets Best for its commitment to me and Daisy.
