Too many ways not to pay the policyholder

Pets Best has an attractively uncomplicated procedure, but manages to find innumerable excuses for paying pay as little as possible on every claim. After almost a year with PB, i have paid in $900 for two dogs, and received only $340 total on 10 claims, most for more than $500.I've cancelled my policy.

Beyond FAST claim assistance!

Each and every time I have used them they are so quick to refund back my part of the claim. I just love them. I have no complaints what so ever and my pups are my children so only the best for them! That is PetsBest Insurance. Peace!

My best friend Gus

I have a 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever named Gus. He has had a few visits non-routine ailments. I just cannot believe how simple these folks make the experience of pet insurance. Immediately notified of all processing via mail, and email. I truly did not think it would be this easy. Was paid 80% just as advertised with no hassles at all. Most of all the professionalism is of the highest rating. Best move I have made concerning my buddy Gus. We both thank you for being there for us. Keep up the good work.

Pets Best Insurance - Awesome

I have a 4 1\2 year old Labradoodle. She tore her cruciate ligament on the left leg last year and needed a TPLO surgery. The vet bill was $3000. Since I had already met my deductible, Pets Best covered all of the bill except for my 20%. She had to undergo the same surgery this month on the other leg and Pets Best covered the surgery again. I file the claims electronically and usually have my money direct deposited within one week.
