Excellent Insurance Company and Policy

I am so glad to have signed up for ASPCA. It is so much like having health insurance for yourself, you can pick your deductible and reimbursement percentage and they have preventative options too. We originally had preventative but realized we didn’t use it much so we removed it and the process was easy, I also have the option to add it back on my renewal date if I choose to. The insurance is for accident/injury or illness, for the unexpected. There are a few things not covered like a torn ACL or pre-existing conditions, but for what I’ve needed it for it has been a huge blessing. My dog Willow has had a few smaller claims and one larger one. They all were approved as well as any estimates I submitted beforehand. I like the estimate feature as it can show you exactly what you would be covered for before a procedure was done in a non-emergency situation. I have used the estimate feature with more optional procedures and I ended up not needing those procedures (one was an endoscopy and the other was for gingivitis). We were able to use alternative medications like acupuncture that ASPCA covered and Willow was healed! She recently had sprained her front paw and was limping, we had already paid her deductible from another visit this year about gingivitis and the claim was paid quickly and accurately according to my plan of 90% reimbursement. I highly recommend the lower deductible and higher percentage return. I noticed some reviews stating their claims getting denied, I have had that happen but it was because I was either missing required information (like vet records) or because I had submitted an estimate shortly before the claim and some of the services overlapped the two making it seem like a duplicate. I easily corrected that by submitting the right documentation and/or resubmitting the claim with a clearer explanation. I have never had any issues with claims or payments. This is a company I will be using for a lifetime. They also offer discounts to members of certain groups like NSCS. We love ASPCA!

Tips on how to choose a company

There are several important factors to consider when choosing a pet insurance company. First, research what coverage is offered: whether it covers both routine medical expenses and emergencies like illness or injury. Compare the cost of insurance premiums and deductibles between different companies. Be sure to read reviews from other pet owners to understand the quality of service. Find out how fast claims are paid and see if an insurance plan can be tailored to fit your needs and budget. Our company provides a wide range of coverage and processes payments quickly. This gives confidence that in case of illness or injury, our pet will receive proper medical care without significant financial burden. My friends who now live in Dubai say that such services are less common there and it is more difficult to find good plans. Perhaps this is due to the fact that in Dubai there is more focus on the real estate market, for example, on the sale of villas, such as 2 Bedroom villas for Sale, where pets can also find comfortable living conditions.

Illogical and Cowardly

$143/month for my GSD. Developed anal sacculitis (anal gland infection). Veterinarian prescribed strict Hydrolized food diet in an attempt to recitify the condition as last ditch effort prior to surgery and removal of anal glands. Pets Plus Us approved all related anal sacculitis vet visits but not the Hydrolized food diet. Because I tried it once a long time ago (prior to Pets Plus Us) in attempt to help with her allergies (I ceased as it was ineffective) and claimed that the food is part of "prexisting condition". Food is used as treatment modality for her anal sacculitis and it has been effective. Still fighting them. Otherwise it's fine. Don't get the impression this medical insurance provider is any different than the others. These guys are sleezy too. They hide behind insurance language and speak more than others I find. So be prepared to be inundated by extreme court like lanagauge and behaviour as well as stalling tactics.

File a claim for pet

I thought the overall ease of filing a claim for our pet was simple and clear. The processing of claim was a bit long. Partially due I did not send in the pet's medical records with the claim. MetLife had to go back to vetenariam and request the files. That took an extra week. All in all it was a good claim processing and I did get some reimbursement.

Scam Pets Best really isn’t

Backtrack a couple years. My dog got a hematoma surgery. Then Applied Pets best got denied for this claim cause the incident happened before. Ok understood I get it. Fast track today he went in cause his ear had yeast and has bad allergies. We got denied again because the issue was from before? How so? I was paying for 2 years and this was developing months ago. They’ll find any excuse to deny you. Going to appeal but likely be cancelling today.

Ease of use

I at first was nervous about the process of doing this claim. however, after reviewing metlife site and discussing with a person, I proceeded forward. The process was pretty straight forward and easy to follow. make sure to have a scan copy or pic of your service. Make sure it was clear, and it has all the needed information. I have done all of this and that made it a easy process. I would recommend using Metlife insurance because they coverage isn't confusing and the claim process was easy to understand.

Pet Insurance is INVALUABLE

I took out Trupanion Insurance per the advice of our vet, in 2009, when our dog Mr. Bryce, (Rescued from an abusive situation), a German Shep/Golden Retriever and Chow mix, was one year old. Trupanion paid 90% coverage for the same condition, of which for most of his life was occasional Colitis-related. When he was eleven, he had anal cancer and once again - 90% coverage/reimbursement for his cancer treatment. The treatment extended his life by two years. When I had to let him go due to the cancer advancing, Trupanion paid 90% for euth services at home. We used the services of Hearts and Halos, for home euth, which I strongly recommend. Our previous dog, Bruce, a Golden Retriever, had cancer as well - a Melanoma, and we didn't have insurance - cost us upwards of $5,000 for treatment, which sadly, didn't give him a sizeable life extension. Following that experience, pet insurance was nothing to consider. If we ever have another dog, will take out insurance again - although I'd have to consider other pet insurance as well. Since the time I had it, I see it's a more competitive field.

Stay away from this fraudulent organization!

I implore you to stay away!! This origination is horrible. I submitted several claims for a simple dental procedure and Pets Best found any possible way (all wrong) to deny my claim. They stated that my Vet did not include diagnosis information on the medical records, which was entirely inaccurate. I reviewed the medical records personally and the information they requested was literally right there, front and center. It is impossible to get hold of anyone on the phone or via email. Look elsewhere!!!!
