Excellent choice for you and your pet!

Very easy website to upload claims and review. Phone customer service agents have always promptly answered my calls and tended to my questions. Pay out time is very reasonable. Competitive rates with exceptional service. My first time getting pet insurance. I'm very happy and would highly recommend them to others!

Arrogance and unfair claim denial

Pets Best has decided that claim is for a pre-existing condition even though the vet herself has sent a letter stating that it was not. They think they know more than the vet who treated the dog.

Poor communication

Poor communication regarding when claims are going to be done, and have been waiting since before Labor Day for a call back from a manager regarding some payment issues in the past, along with how information given to one agent was not inputted in the system, when other agents confirmed it was in there causing overdraw on accounts and missed payments. Not happy with how I’ve been treated or handled since I brought these issues up at the end of August.

Pets Best is the Best

The whole process is seamless and as long as receipts, invoices and Vets reports are submitted, there is no delay in getting reimbursement. The on call nurses are great as well in advising what to do when unsure. I recommend this insurance to anyone I meet with an animal. Thank Pets Best for helping me take good care of our dog. In the past with other pets, I did not get much needed treatment because of the cost and deductibles with other insurance companies. Your once a year deductible, competitive pricing and excellent coverage makes it possible for me to be proactive on behalf of our precious animal.

Monthly Cost

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

$5000 -Unlimited annual limit, depending on your chosen plan. Unlimited lifetime limits.
