Sick Puppy...Good to have Coverage!

I gave a 4 Star rating because the coverage is working as expected and the explanations provided in the claims responses are easy to understand. Would have been a 5 Star review if it had been processed more quickly.

Working with Pets Best has been very easy. We recently had our dog to the Emergency Vet Hospital. When we sent all the information to Pets Best it was very easy and they quickly handled it.

Worst Pet Insurance Ever!

Pets Best is the worst insurance ever. They constantly deny legit claims. Their CS is terrible. They take for ever if there is a claim they have to pay. Do not EVER buy this insurance.

Service is good but premium is a rip off!

My claim was from previous insurance term. It was treated as of surgery date that means it was not included this year's deductible amount and received my claim quickly. This rate could be 5 stars, but premium increase rate is around 35% that is way above the normal. I am seriously considering to change the Firm. $70 for basic insurance of 2.5 years old mini dog is too much!
