Thank you!!

I am amazed to say the least on how wonderful this company is. The customer service dept is gracious & helpful, claims are handled promptly & payment made within a few days. I have tried a few different insurance companies in the past & they nit picked each line item. I paid more & got back much less. Wonderful company..Scarlet thanks you & so do I.

Thank you!

I have a 12.5 yo large breed dog, with a few health issues including cancer. Pets Best has been amazing, helping us keep her comfortable and happy in her later years. I'm always amazed when they pay a claim, with no questions or hassle, since she has multiple, expensive problems. I also have two young dogs who haven't had claims, but there's no way I'll ever go without vet insurance after my experience. I don't write online reviews often, and my friends are all annoyed with me for bugging them to get pet insurance. This is just a good financial decision, all around.

Thank you, Pets Best

My cat was hospitalized for 3 days because of his renal failure. Pet bests processed my claim within 2 weeks and paid for 80% of the bill after deductible. I am really thankful to PetsBest for their help. Highly recommended!

Try to get away with making everything pre-existin

Tried to put cancer as a pre-existing exclusion on the policy for a BENIGN lump removal. Tried to deny removal of an enlarged lymph node claim as pre-existing. They denied coverage for an ultrasound which is a DIAGNOSTIC procedure and everything was found normal as pre-existing. How can nothing found be pre-existing? Canceled policies on 2 dogs. Not worth the hassle.

I am amazed

I've had insurance in place for my dogs for years but this is the first time I've used it. My dog Jade had to have surgery a week ago today for cancer. I never expected the claims process to be so easy or so fast. I scanned and uploaded the bills over the weekend, and today I was notified the claim has been processed and payment is on its way.There are many difficult decisions ahead for us, but I am grateful that I don't have to make any because of financial reasons. All I have to consider is Jade's well being.
