Pets Best is the best

I have insured five dogs over the years with Pets Best and have been very happy with how clear and upfront they are about coverage. I wish human coverage would be so clear. When I called Pets Best customer service about what my dog was going to need they told me it would more than likely be covered and I would receive reimbursement quickly. I felt with my 80% reimbursement I could afford to give my dog the best of care she deserves after all the care she has shown me. Plus, she's an older dog and Pets Best didn't hesitate to cover her!

ABSOLUTE SCAM! STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE!

ABSOLUTE SCAM! STAY AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE! Found out my Yorkie had Kidney Failure and the only piece of positive news was that I purchased pet insurance about a half a year earlier. After paying out of pocket for all treatments to try and save her life I find out all claims are denied because I took her to the vet a few months before purchasing the policy when she hurt her ankle!! THAT IS NOT A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION!!What's even a bigger SCAM is why did they let me sign up and pay monthly premiums while knowing that they would DENY all future claims?? Furthermore, they kept trying to charge me premiums after finding out my dog had a TERMINAL DISEASE! UNETHICAL LYING CROOKS! I found out today that my dog now has stage 4 kidney failure and needs to go to the ER and be hospitalized at a rate of $1,800 for 24 hours.. if only I was smart and had purchased pet insurance ahead of time *sarcasm*

Best Investment For Molly B!

Molly B is my pug who recently had a surgery because she ate a stick in our yard. I have had insurance a few years back for Miss B of which covered nothing except for 20 dollars here and there. I was so pleasantly surprised when the insurance covered most of MOlly B's foreign object surgurey. The company is super prompt, easy to submit claims and user friendly. I highly recommend this insurance and will be keeping it.
