Awful Experience with Pets Best

I submitted an accident claim for my cat who was urgently seen for ingesting something. Pets Best didn't bother communicating to me during processing and took over a month to deny the claim. I even called customer service to ask what was taking so long and they indicated they needed ALL my cats records from the last year, despite me already uploading the SOAP notes. If I hadn't called i would have never known. I'm a new customer and not at all pleased with how they conduct their business. Poor customer service and they don't pay what you are covered for.

One of the few that insures senior dogs. So grateful for this company to not to have to choose between life or death for my fur baby due to medical costs. Claims are easy and payments are received in a timely manner straight into our bank account. It's a must for EVERY dog owner and Pets Best IS the BEST!

Super Easy!

Super easy process from signing up for insurance to submitting a claim. We have used several insurances previously and have found Pets Best to be the easiest to work with! Making claims, changes, etc is a breeze and the interface that they use is great. Zero complaints from us!
