Poor

They seem to find a way to deny any claim over $300. They have even paid my cats claims for the exact same illness as my dog but since my dogs bill was over $500 they have found a way to deny the claim, this is the exact same diagnosis and not the first time.

Will recommend you to all my friends! Thank you!

We have had 2 claims over $4000 in one month....Pets Best payed 80% of it within 10 days! Minimal paperwork. The staff was helpful and caring and even offered direct deposit if we needed the money quicker!! They really take the financial worry out of adopting, owning pets! Thank you, thank you! Ute Moeller

Helps in time of need

Strongly recommend this company - had a different insurance company for one year before and was not happy - they reduced the benefit on every claim. Pets Best has never reduced the benefit - have always paid the 80% on the covered expenses. They pay very promptly - always before my credit card bill comes due. We have been with them over 2.5 yrs (for 3 dogs). Our older dog has the big "C" now and we can afford to give her the best chance possible because of this insurance - thanks so much Pet's Best!!!
