Simple, Fast, and Easy to understand

I have a large unusual breed dog that has had three surgeries and Pets Best has come through each time and paid exactly what they said they would, and did it on time. Without Pets Best, it would have been a hard effort to pay the thousands of dollars it would have cost me. Their staff was very helpful in answering my questions and unlike other policies, Pets Best policy is very simple to understand and use.THANK YOU PETS BEST for being there for me and my best friend.

Really Happy So Far

My husband and I have been with Pets Best for about a year and have nothing but good to say about them. We feel comfortable and confident in our purchase and have recommended them to friends and family. Understanding that it works on a reimbursement process -- much like a flex plan -- has been helpful and also learning that it's not doggy dental insurance. Even with that, I would recommend Pets Best without hesitation.

new but better

I know PetsBest is new as a company, while their founder has many years of experience as the founder of VPI, I still did have minor issues with the claims processing. Over a technically they denied a claim but after an appeals process that only took 3 days my claim was approved and I had my money in less than a week. I like the improved coverage and the ability of the reps to take the time to educate themselves in order to help me.

PetsBest is no good

I have the same problem as everyone else..simples claims take a long time to process..over a month...customer service always tells me something different but they are friendly although not well educated in their field... VPI was horrible to begin with so if this is the same owner the obviously it's not going to be that good either. It's cheaper to have the $20 a month and then pull it out when need. Thanks anyways.
