Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

As a veterinarian I never thought I would need to insure my pets, but given the rising expense of veterinary care and specialty services I opted to insure all my pets about 2 years ago. Pet's Best has been easy to work with and quickly processes claims and reimbursement for the amounts I have expected - there have not been any difficulties dealing with the company. I was not happy to see the monthly cost increase now that the company is underwritten by Aetna, however, I still feel that the coverage provided for the cost of the insurance is well worth it and more comprehensive then many of the plans that are available.

Our enlish bulldog Dozr who is 10 months has had his share of puppy accidents/illnesses in his short time. From a sprained paw to fractured toe and gastritis. Getting insurance with Pets Best was one of the best things we have ever done. The turn around time to process claims is fast and the customer service is excellent. Very friendly and helpful. With the high cost of Vet care we are at ease knowing Dozr is protected.

Pets Best gave my dog 10 1/2 extra months. he was diagnosed with cancer and only given 3 months to live. Read his story at http://fightcaninecancer.wordpress.com/80% payment and turnaround in 10 days really helped my finances

My girl Precious(Anatolian/golden mix) had 2 mammary tumors removed, and they ended up being cancerous. Knowing I have a great insurance plan makes it easy to make the decision on her care. Over $1900 in charges, I received almost $1500 back fairly quickly. Thank you PetsBest!

I've had 4 claims over a 3 year period with Pets Best. It has been easy to file claims, and they have always covered the entire bill without question, minus my $75 deductible and 20% copay. Last year I got back the premium amount because of one foxtail-in-the-nose incident (ouch) and a concern that Hannah was losing weight, which necessitated blood tests. For the foxtail, I had to take Hannah to 2 different vets because it didn't look like the first vet solved the problem. They waived the $75 deductible on the second visit because it was considered the same incident. I was so pleased, this year I purchased insurance for my new (to me) second dog, Roxie. She was clawed by another dog about 10 days ago and had a big incision. Again, they covered it promptly. Unfortunately I didn't have pet insurance for Roxie when she developed nerve cancer right after I adopted her--so I paid for treatment myself. And although her policy considers nerve cancer a preexisting condition, it will cover her if she develops another kind of cancer. It's nice to have the peace of mind that the girls will be covered for unforeseen illnesses and injuries, especially as they get older. Roxie is 8 and Hannah is 11.
