Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

I have 3 dogs that I transferred from VPI to Pet's Best. The benefits are more generous and the claim forms very simple. They are a little more expensive, but I think the reimbursement schedule makes up for it. I submitted one claim that took a long time to get reimbursement for (about 6 weeks) but was covered in full: all others have been handled very quickly. I recommend them highly!

My dog Sierra was acting really weird on Monday. Not eating anything, not even her favorite treats. We decided that we would wait until the next day to see if she got any better and if she didn't we would take her to the vet. Well, she didn't get any better by the next day. Needless to say, we took her in. she had some blood work done and got some medication to keep her from throwing up and some liquid food. I had my vet sign my claim form and went home. The next day we got the lab results back, and they were pretty much normal. He said to basically keep an eye on her and if she doesn't get any better then to take her back in. WELL I brought my papers from the vet in with me to work and went online to petsbest.com. They had a fax number on there and I thought 'well isn't that convenient." So I faxed it. Not more than 1 hour went by and I already received an e-mail stating that they got the claim and are processing it now! I was amazed that I didn't have to call in a week to make sure someone got it. I am very VERY happy so far with the service I have received from petsbest. I will post something on here once I get my check and let you know how fast, or slow, it was. So far I am VERY pleased.

Ifyou are in the market for pet insurance, first, good idea! When the little ones gets sick we try to be practical but there are no monetary limits on our love and it can sure add up so being prepared is paramount! Second, pick PETS BEST!!! I shopped around forever comparing prices and coverage and claim turn around and I have never made such a good decision! A lot of pet insurance is very similiar and Pets Best offers coverage VERY similar to other companies but thier caring customer service is what makes the HEAD AND SHOULDERS above the rest! There response time to emails, claim turn around, and exceedingly helpful staff offer some of the best service I have experienced anywhere let alone and insurance company! On more than one occasion I even had someone respond to an urgent email on thier DAY OFF!! Believe me Pets Best is the way to go! I will never be able to thanks them for thier help and support when my puppy has been sick and thier continued assistance with questions and problems. Pets Best sets the bar in this industry!!!

I'd love to give this company a try, but they do not insure pets over a certain age as they won't insure my healthy just turned 9 year old dog. I think companies should still insure them and charge a higher premium. . . would be more fair than to deny.

I have been a veterinarian for 21 years. Every veterinarian at some point encounters "economic euthanasia". I believe that pet insurance is the single biggest protective device AGAINST "economic euthanasia". I had much experience with the first pet insurance company when it was still in the business of protecting pets and pet owners from "economic euthanasia". Then the company decided that the "bottom line" was more important than the "tie that binds" - - in this case the precious family-pet relationship. Suddenly the company relied on "benefit schedules" that bore absolutely no resemblance to the actual costs for various procedures. Instead, our clients were witness to a company that spent lots of time and energy denying any sort of benefit to pets and the people who love them. Then Dr. Jack Stephens introduced Pets Best Insurance - - as he describes it, "Simply the best for pets". The claims process is exceptionally easy - - we help the client complete the claim form, we fill out the medically relevant information, attach an invoice, and then we actually fax it to Pets Best to ensure the timely filing of claims. The rest is history-making, because once the deductible is paid, Pets Best takes care of 80% of the remainder. In claim after claim that we have seen after settlement, there it is in black and white - - 80/20... No other pet insurance - - other than Pets Best - - makes sense!
