VERY Disappointed in Pets Best

At the present time I am very disappointed in the service fromn Pets Best. For one thing ...do not like to leave messages and think a live person to talk to would be an obligation of the company for their customers. Would like to discuss the decision of claim.

As Advertised.

I purchased your insurance on both of my Irish terrier pups, male & female littermates. Healthy and no problem for about two years, and then things started to happen. Baxter developed auto-immune disease, almost lost him. My vet took over, and after various heavy medications and tests, he recovered. Pets Best paid 80%, as advertised. He later developed an intense allergy, itched everywhere. After Tests and medication, he is well on the way back to normal. Pets Best paid 80%, as advertised.Maggie, our girl dog planted a kiss on me, and I noticed bad breath--highly unusual. I looked inb her mouth, and found a yellow tooth, and discolored gum above it. The vet found a busted tooth, had to be pulled. Thc claim is currently in process, but I habve no doubt that it will be paid 80&, as advertised. It would be foolhardy to own a dog without Pets-Best Insurance--my opinion. Thank you.
