Paid promptly as per agreement.

I’ve had Pets Best insurance on my 7-year-old dog since he was a puppy. He’s always been healthy and I think I only had one claim years ago. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease recently and did not respond to traditional treatment. I have submitted numerous claims over the past few months and they have been paid promptly and without hassle. I’m thankful for Pets Best, as we continue to battle this disease.

Not very happy with there service

Not very happy with there communication. Also not happy that I have to wait for a claim to be processed in about two month span. When they process claim they put claims together for well care and illness to process and apply the items wrong. This leads to lower amounts to pay out to customers. Also not happy with some of the customer care agents that have a bad Attitude.

It took forever and even though I had a payment plan with the vet, they refused to process the claim until the payment plan was paid off. Ridiculous. Even when you don't have payment plans they take forever to process your claims and often have to fight them on coverage.
