Its a scam...

People who get pet insurance usually want something they can rely on to be there when their little child animal gets sick or hurt, knowing they are unable to afford the vet bills. In this case, PetsBest is a huge scam taking over a month just to deny all my claims from taking my dog to the vet from being very ill. Causing another round of bills to come by to collect just so they can take their time and say no while cashing out my monthly bill.

They find every reason not to pay!!!

They find every reason not to pay from your dogs name, not being on the bill to the items not being itemized to the bill not being a paid in full with a zero balance then they call your vet and bug the crap out of them because the bill might’ve been hand written with the Vets name address and everything imprinted on the bill it’s absolutely absurd if you provide a bill and it shows the information and the totals are there then why wouldn’t you pay the bill? Your vet is not going to allow you to leave without paying your bill ridiculous.

Ponzi scheme insurance

This company seemingly words their policy in a way so that they cover almost nothing. They have it so unless your pet is perfect in every way, they will not cover the issue. Then as your pet ages, they raise the rates, making this policy more expensive than human coverage. I used to like pet best insurance but now it is feeling like more of a pyramid scheme. Pay, pay, pay... keep paying, oh, your pet is sick, that is not our problem, you didn't meet the deductible, or they try and claim your pet has a pre-existing condition which is most often horse dung. Seriously considering changing companies.
