Pets Best has been a life saver for my dogs! I can't imagine not having Pets Best insurance for my dogs, it is such a peace of mind. I can make decisions based on the well-being of my dogs instead of financial concerns. I will never be without Pets Best insurance for my dogs. The claims are easy to file and the decisions are fast and fair. I can't say enough good things about Pets Best.

Horrible!

When I started with two dogs with this company they were great. The bills got insane on my older pet from them with NO CLAIMS. The premium went through the roof. My younger dog's premiums are now insane. Very few claims 2 years ago. This company will price gouge you. Expect it! I would not chose them! You call they are of no help. They have clueless customer service agents.

This was my first time to file a claim

This was my first time to file a claim. The process was very easy. After 2 weeks they sent an email saying they were a little behind in processing claims. As it was my first time to file I called to make sure they had received all the information they needed and did they know how long the process would take. The customer service person I spoke to was so nice, patient and helpful. And within 48 hours I received the email that my claim was processed! I’m so glad I took out insurance on my 2 kittens and I made the right choice with Pets Best!!!

These people are impossible to get in touch with. They don’t answer the phone. The email I have doesn’t work, and when my dog died it took me almost a week to get in touch with them to cancel the policy.

Beware and never get this pet insurance

I wouldn't recommend this pet insurance to anyone!! Negative stars would be better. I previously had Nationwide with my other dog and they were amazing. First, they NEVER answer their phone in a reasonable time. You have to wait and wait. BUT if you put you are a new customer they will answer. Second, they deny EVERYTHING! My dog hurt his leg and had an ear infection. Denied. They said not covered. I have had them for years and NOTHING has been covered. Last, they just keep raising rates for not covering anything! They are the most expensive insurance out there. Do you research!
