Not the best

No call back when I was promised a call back. All claims are attributed to preexisting temporary conditions.

Truly is the BEST

Everything is easy. The claim form is simple, you get reimbursed within a week in most cases, and they keep you posted step by step by email. Couldn't ask for a better process. I'm always recommending Pets Best Insurance.

Bubba

We rescued a bulldog in November 2013 and I was advised I should get insurance (anyone who owns a bulldog will know why that insurance is important). I came across Pet's Best in an online search. I was a little skeptical in the beginning but now I am so happy I purchased a policy with Pet's Best.... The ease of the claims process, the fairness of the paying out of claims, and the direct deposit of payments are all amazing! I am so happy to be insured by Pet's Best!

So Glad I Purchased Policy

I hesitated to purchase insurance thinking a young dog wouldn't have many health issues. I decided to purchase accident only coverage. Less than 7 months after rescuing our newest addition, she was at the Emergency Vet for surgery to remove an ingested foreign body. After the deductible, we were reimbursed for the entire claim. I'm very happy with how quickly my claims were processed. I will most likely be upgrading to a full accident and illness policy.

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. Reimbursements are sent directly to CareCredit credit card when chosen as your default reimbursement method. Choose to have your eligible claim payment reimbursed directly back to your CareCredit card.
