I didn't know which insurance to…
I didn't know which insurance to purchase for my pets, but I landed with Pets Best. I'm glad I did because I feel like they are prompt and fair, and cover what they say they will cover.

It was super easy to file my claim
It was super easy to file my claim. The communication along the way was very good. And my claim was settled in a timely manner.

Nothing "Best" about our Customer Experience
Several of our claims went through fine, others not so much. If you don't provide the documentation they require (any piece thereof), they reject the claim with only at best a vague description of what they think want. In our experience Customer Care (email) has been exceptionally slow in responding, ridiculous in some of their communications, and overall just completely unhelpful. All our claims are from the same Vet. All wellness. Nothing weird or unusual, just normal stuff. It's hard to understand. On one claim, the web portal did nothing but generate a cryptic error when we tried to upload additional documentation (a jpg). One day we get an email from Customer Care requiring another piece of documentation and an hour later we get notified the claim's been closed from inactivity????? Sadly truly and shockingly unreal. We obviously do not recommend Pets Best.

Pets Best was responsive and caring…
Pets Best was responsive and caring after our 3 year old German Shepherd had a serious issue with emergency surgery and we appreciated their working with us to see how our policy helped cover those expenses.
P.S.- Their program to call a vet for medical questions is also a wonderful program for customers and their pets!
