Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

I had Pets Best for several years. I was pleased at first but have had several problems with them recently. They told me they would cover a treatment (after an extensive detailed conversation) and then changed their decision AFTER I went ahead with it. I heard they were bought by Aetna recently, and since then, my vet has said that many of his clients have had trouble with them not covering things they did before. Beware of them....I am looking to switch to another company and am very upset with them. I feel I was treated very unfairly and unethically.

I recently adopted a cat and bought pet insurance just in case he had issues I was unaware of. It turned out he needed some dental work and Pets Best covered the cost of the needed extractions. They were very efficient and made the claim process easy. I would recommend them for pet insurance.

I am the first of my friends and colleagues to get pet insurance. I fund and work with many many rescue groups and dog devotees. Everyone kind of had the opinion that pet insurance was a scam - they all wanted to know my experience. I kept telling them I had nothing to report. My dog was fine. Well, it finally happened. Daisy got sick quite suddenly and died four days later. The bill was over $3000! I put in my claim and waited. I really had no idea what to expect. In the meantime they were so nice to me - called me with their condolences - just really amazing personal attention. I just got my claim decision the other day. They are paying 2/3rds of the cost! Everyone was shocked. I now believe my friends and colleagues secretly thought I was being scammed. So now I'm telling everyone it's true! Pet's Best Insurance is for real. I'm even getting phone calls from people who got word of this event asking who I'm insured with. I plan on posting my experience to Craigslist just to let people know that pet insurance, though new, is real and that all I can recommend is Pets Best. Nothing will bring back Daisy but at least I know that if I have a sick animal it' ok to focus on getting them well without getting a second shock when the bill comes in.

This company is top flight and does exactly what it says it will do: it provides insurance at a reasonable cost so as to help take the cost issue out of the equation when having to provide medical treatment for our "pet family members." We recently lost our two-year old cockapoo to a terrible immune system disease that struck completely out of the blue. The hospitalization and course of treatment was very expensive, but thanks to Pets Best we were able to do everything we possibly could to try and save our beloved dog's life. Without Pets Best, our treatment decisions would have been agonizingly difficult and quite candidly I'm not sure that we could and would have done all that we did do (which obviously would have made the terrible loss even harder than it has already been, particularly for our children). Further, and as it has always done, Pets Best paid our claims quickly and efficiently. The customer service could not be better. Although it will obviously take us time to get over the loss of our dog, when the time is right for us to get another one there is no question that we will use Pets Best once again.

Inconsistent reimbursement. They did very well with one of my cats, and NOTHING (!!!) for the other one. Wouldn't recommend them because of this inconsistency. Also, no real assistance via telephone regarding protest of their non-payment. Lots of paperwork needed to request a review, including several LAYERS of review. I canceled both cats' policies and went to another provider.
