Fantastic!
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.

Trupanion Exceptional Prompt Claim Service
I have two Briards insured with Trupanion. What stands out for me is Trupanion's exceptional personalized service. I have always been contacted by my claim representative promptly on making the claim, a status follow up and even more importantly very prompt resolution of the claim!
I have only had best experiences with Trupanion. Such personal service is rare today. It's all about the dogs not a negotiation for coverage!

They do not reimburse
We have 16 month old dog who was just diagnosed with heartworm. Dogs under one year do not get tested for heartworm. Trupanion is claiming we didnt give our dog heartguard and we allowed this to happen. How are we to know if the dig was never tested prior to this? Therefore they are denying our claim. They have also denied us two other claims, one for Giardia and another for eating grapes. The grapes was supposedly a preexisting condition because she ingested gorilla glue a few months prior. Not 100% related. Three claims and three denials later we will switch back to our old carrier who never denied us. We left becasue nupanion was supposedly cheaper and covers 90%. They may be cheaper per month but not cheaper in the long run. Id rather pay a higher premium and have a lower reimbursement. TRUPANION IT TERRIBLE DO NOT USE THEM. Their customer service dept has not called me back either.

deductible per incident not per year - bad policy
After having lost two dogs in the past year who were uninsured, we were determined to insure our new puppies. One big problem I have with Pets Best is that their deductibles are per incident not, as with AKC, per year. Most of the claims we have filed have been denied due to not meeting the deductible on those issues. Also, Pets Best doesn't cover preventative medicine like heartwork. AKC does cover preventative medicine. I am very tempted to switch to AKC.
On a positive, Pets Best has had a very good response time.

They pay low claims
I have had them for the past few months and my first claim was for 80% of $500 and I only received $20.00! The next two claims were just as weak. What a rip off.
Nothing is covered as what is stated and they have so many excuses of why it's not covered.

Very satisfied with insurance
I am writing to thank you for your excellent health insurance for my pet. I have been a customer of yours for over 3 years and I have never had difficulty having a claim paid under my value plan. But what is most important to me is the peace of mind of knowing that I would never have to make a medical decision for my valued friend based on whether or not I could afford the treatment or procedure.

premium increase
I have had Pets Best for a few years now. My dogs are 7 and 13. While I have been with them for the past three years, they have raised my deductible once and have raised my premium cost three times. This past increase was a 31% increase. That is ridiculous and outrageous. I have had to drop my coverage with them in order to maintain the insurance. Unfortunately, I cannot go to another provider because of the age of my older dog and preexisting conditions would apply. I am very disappointed in Pet's Best. They should be ashamed to impose a 31% increase on anyone.

Very good for those big, unexpected events
When my eight year old Vizsla mix was diagnosed with multiple mast cell tumors, we were overwhelmed with worry about our beloved pet, but also worry about the cost of his care. Our plan with ASPCA covers 80% of "reasonable" costs. Since we live in a very expensive metro area,we were certain that 80% of "reasonable" would equate to about 15% of the actual cost. I was so pleased (and quite frankly surprised) to find that in total, about 65-70% of our costs were covered--certainly more than we have paid in premiums over the years. Also, the ability to submit the claim forms online and have them processed within a week or two was great. The customer service reps were very helpful whenever I called.
