Canceled

Wellness not worth extra premium. Preventative medication should be covered. Not just 25 dollars. Medication is far more expensive. Bill for a booster shot, heart worm preventative for one year and flea and tick for 66 months was over 200.00 dollars. Policy only pays 25 dollars that was paid earlier in year. This was a bill from a community service, not a vet office. So this would be a discount price for shots and medicine. Need to increase preventative medication coverage. I canceled my policy. Will deposit my premium in an account of my own to buy the preventative meds for my dog.Much pressure from person I called to cancel my policy. I am aware of vet cost when my dog might get sick or injuries. My dog is a resuccude dog and if I can not afford his care they will help.

THEY PAID CLAIM!

I have had rather small size claims but Pets Best DOES pay and pays very promptly. They are also the most reasonable insurance company for my Ralphie.

I Love You Pets Best

When my Vet recommended Pets Best Insurance Plan, I thought no way, I can't afford it PLUS my dog is young and healthy. After thinking about it a day or two I came to my senses! I have Multiple Sclerosis and sometimes I am unable to get out. I live alone, so my dog Izzy is very important to me. I could not have bought a better product for Izzy than her health insurance. She developed Pancreatitis this year, and the claim filing process and reimbursement was fabulous. There is NO BETTER protection than this plan. If you love your pet, remember that vet care is very expensive. Protect your beloved pet, and your pocket book by purchasing Pets Best!!!!
