I just wanted to make a comment to thank everyone at Pets Best for the wonderful customer service I have received since I began my policy for my 2 pups back in January. I am living on a limited income being an employee at one of the few still standing mortgage companies and having no pay increase in 2 years. My dogs are my pride and joy and recently have experienced a few different types of unexpected illnesses. Knowing that I have the security that Pets Best will help with covering those medical bills has been such a huge relief. I had a few people suggest that I give up my dogs to save money but I am sure as you know working at a company that supports an animals well being these “dogs” are my children not just disposable pets. Anyhow I really just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart because I have dealt with other companies that do not come close to your turn times and expertise not to mention you guys actually CARE! Thank you again!!!

I am very disappointed. Both of my 11 yr old cats are new to Embrace. In total it costs me 540+ dollars to cover them for a year. As they are older, you would not allow their illnesses to be covered. It would have been more economical to use that money to directly pay out of pocket vet bills than to pay for both the insurance and the vet bills. I think initially, you had false advertising...and I was mislead. I certainly am not going to get your insurance next year.

Our dog Bailey had three operations and ASPCA Ins helped us to be able to provide the best care for our Bailey.

I am from Vancouver, BC Canada so I used to have policy with Vet Insurance in Canada with my last dog Pepper, the beagle. Pepper went through so many health problems and had a couple of big operations. When Pepper was 8 years old, I was newly divorced and hard to keep up with his medical bills everytime he needed vet care. Vet Insurance was the only pet isurance company accepted my application for enrollment although the others denied my application because Pepper was too old. He had two big life threatening surgeries, and one was spleen rupture when Pepper was 10. My bills was astonomical. However, thanks to Vet Insurance, it was 90% covered, and I didn't have to worry about going broke. Instead, I was able to focus on taking care of him. I give a huge credit to Vet Insurance for helping Pepper prolong his life and live happy, not to mention give me peace of mind. He passed away last year, but our vet told me it was miracle that he outlived 5 more years of borrowing time after the big surgery. During late years of Pepper, I was re-married and moved to US. After Pepper's passing, we thought we would never have another pet because of dealing with pet's loss. My husband was surfing Craigslist to look for something else and found ad for beagle puppy for adoption. We called up the original ownder and met the puppy. We fell in love with him instanteneously. That was not our plan to have another pet, but we could not help ourselves. He was born on Halloween and we picked him up on Friday the 13th (of February) so we re-named him Lucky for good luck. He is a loving happy dog. Thanks to wonderful experience with Vet Insurance I knew I have to get insurance for him so I began to research for pet insurance company in US. And I was so extatic to find out that Vet Insurance opened a company for US market called Trupanion. I knew Trupanion will give me great coverage at very competitive rate as well as excellent customer service just like Vet Insruance. And I was right. Trupanion offer very unique coverage that fits to anybody's budget and circumstances. Very simple to file claim and fast to get reinbursement check. And they will personally take good care of you. They follow up each claim and keep you updated by calls and e-mails. The representatives are very sinsere and care about you and your pets. I am very happy with Trupanion. Lucky is just a puppy, and he has many years to go so I am very confident that through Trupanion, we can provide him the best medical care without any finincial stress from big expenses when unexpected illness or accident occurs in the future. With Trupanion, we can keep Lucky happy and waggling his tail for a long time. In my opinion, Vet Insurance / Trupanion is the best in the market. I recommend to all my friends and family. If you have older pets, it is not too late to enroll. Please protect your pet and be stress free from enexpected future medical expenses for your pet with Trupanion.

I've submitted several claims (the oldest dating back to late August, more than 5 weeks ago) and have yet to receive resolution on any of them. They did not make good on their promise of a 15-day response and they have not been very communicative. Each time I inquire about the status of the claims I hear that they are very busy, they're sorry, etc. I chose Embrace largely due to the positive reviews I saw on this site. I have yet to see anything to support those reviews.

we have a lab that is almost 1 year and we found out she had elbo dsyplasya.Trupanion was wounderful.She had to have surgury and Trupanion took care of everything.We feel very lucky that we chose Trupanion

Pets Best is expensive relative to its peers and the customer service is atrocious. Unlike Embrace or Purina Care, they exclude anything they consider to be hereditary or congenital (list is more exhaustive then you might think), regardless of the age of your pet, or whether they have ever shown any symptoms. This includes hip and elbow displaysia, for some breeds eye problems like glaucoma/ cataracts, Addison's disease etc. In addition, they exclude patella or other knee injuries for the first year (Purina and Embrace do not). These are not only the most likely health problems for a young pet. They are also the expensive ones you most need insurance for! Plus if you think about it, for most minor illnesses, after the $75 PER INCIDENT deductable and the 20% co-pay, you end up paying the vast majority of the cost of most vet visits yourself anyway. On top of that, they will nitpick every last thing related to a claim. This includes claims related to their "routine care option" which they seem to treat as a benefit as opposed to an entitlement (despite their false marketing). If their "claims department" finds any issue no matter how remote, be prepared for them to deny the claim and then push it back to you and your vet to do all the work necessary to appeal. This process is designed to be difficult and is a major time sink for you and for your vet, who understandably find it irritating. All in all, if you buy Pets Best, be prepared to pay upfront and then have to fight for your money, waste your time and be disappointed later.

I have only had Pets Best for a few months, but have been extremely impressed with their service. Within only weeks of getting the insurance, one of our dogs came down with a skin infection. Pets Best sent us a check very quickly and with no problem. We had two other somewhat expensive procedures after this (unrelated), which were also handled quickly and efficiently. The staff was friendly and helpful whenever I would call to ask a question. One of our dogs ended up dying from an aneurism, and Pets Best paid for his cremation. They also sent us a nice sympathy card, which was unexpected and very sweet.So far, we are very impressed and will definately continue to put future dogs on this insurance.
