As grateful as we are for Pet’s Best…

As grateful as we are for Pet’s Best covering our pups emergency surgery, it took over a month to hear back about her claim. They did email us twice to apologize for the delay which was nice. Just wish we could have had a result sooner. Customer service over the phone is always pleasant!

Pets Best is a very insurance to have

Pets Best is a very good insurance to have. We had a very sick pup and having this insurance was a huge help.

Delay and Confuscate

This company insists on not paying for over $3k in medical bills (the total amt was over $18k.) They claim my baby's epilepsy was the reason he was hospitalized rather than the fact that he had a life-threatening infection. It happened Nov 22. They paid some, then denied the appeal for the rest Aug 23 (9 mo later.) Now I have to do a 2nd level appeal for which they are allowed another 6 mo to complete. This is appalling and unacceptable when I pay them top dollar for insurance for my pets. If you have a better insurance provider, keep them.
