Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

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!

This product has literally saved myself and many I know who are insured by Pets Best 10's of thousands of dollars in costs which in many persons financial situations would be prohibitive to them affording to save and maintain in good health their loved one and pet companion.

Having been a frustrated VPI customer for several years, it was a pleasant surprise to find Pets Best and to have claims paid quickly and fairly. With VPI, I got pennies on the dollar. With Pets Best I am seeing most of my bills covered.

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.
