Good insurance company but a bit slow

Good insurance company, great customer service, only I do not know why simple claim need to check 1 month! Usually, after 10 days or 2 weeks I receive an email that they need more time. Looks like its always slow

Very Satisfied With PetsBest Pet Insurance

Very fair pricing. Good wellness coverage paired with accident/illness coverage you can flex to your needs make this a great pet insurance option. They have real people that answer the phone and give reasonable answers. I did a lot of comparison shopping and have no plan to switch out in the foreseeable future.

Denied my claim without contacting me first or conducting an investigation

I have had Pets Best insurance for more than seven years. I submitted a large justified claim near the policy limit of $5,000. It was denied without justification. I will be appealing and if necessary bringing a lawsuit to enforce their contract with me. Be careful with all of their exclusions.
