Pros and Cons

PRO's: The service provided by the representatives are great. Their communication skills are good and they are very nice. CONS: The policies provided suck. It's not clearly detailed and the coverage is subpar. I feel like I'm paying for a policy that doesn't meet my pet's needs.

preexisting conditions are ridiculous

I insured my 8 week old puppy, but somehow STILL they are claiming everything is pre existing because one time it was mentioned to a vet that she was itching a little bit. Very hard to reach anyone by phone. Lesson learned - even if you insure a puppy before their first vet visit, and wait for the waiting period to close before getting treatment, conditions can still be "pre existing" according to Pets Best.

I have had a few pet insurance…

I have had a few pet insurance companies in the past but none of them completed a claim as quickly as Pets Best. Great explanation and easy process.
