Huge Premium Increase
Beware! The application process is easy and the claim filing process is easy. For the first 2 years the policy premiums were reasonable. But I just got my renewal for the upcoming year. Shockingly, my annual premium increased 55%!
When I called to inquire, the representative was very nice BUT couldn't really give me a reason for such a huge increase. She said it was based on my zip code, my dog breed and she stated that the cost of claims were increasing. This puzzled me as they knew my zip code and dog breed when they issued the policy. Additionally, my deductible is $500 and I barely met that this year.
When I inquired further she said that some zip codes only had their premiums increase by under 20%. What the heck??
When I asked for historical information as to what past premium increases had been, she couldn't answer the question. Now that's rich. A 55% premium increase. That truly makes the policy almost unsustainable.
I feel duped by getting a policy with them! i feel like I was lured in and that they knew all along they were going to push a HUGE premium increase on me at a later date. My only advise to potential customers is BEWARE!! I encourage potential customers to shop around....

horrible expereince
I had healthy paws years ago for our previous pets and it was great, but I got it for our 2 new cats and so far it is has been horrible. Every single claim they reject for reasons that don't make sense. (They either say it is preventative when it is a test for symptoms) or they say it was during our waiting period when it was weeks after. Or when I send vet records (what the vet gave us) they say it isn't the correct records. Clearly just trying to give the run around and not pay. Really disappointed.

Pets Best it's just a scam!!
I filed a claim under illness and allergies that it is covered supposedly by Petsbest, after taking my Dog to the vet showing skin allergies and got a prescription for it. After filing the claim it took like 3 weeks to get an email back saying "sorry for the delay, we are processing your claim now" then after another week I got denied on the claim. They just waste my time holding the claim for another month to get another monthly payment and then denied the claim. Be careful read before picking a pet insurance. And totally skip Petsbest scams!

Excellent service
Our Fur baby had sudden onset of glaucoma and we needed to remove his eye. The hospital and vet did not do direct billing, so we had to upload the documents etc on the Pet plus portal. It was easy and convenient. They reimbursed within 3-4 days of submission. Customer service was easily accessible and very helpful. . Pets plus made the ordeal bearable with their professionalism.

Very pleased with Pet's Best insurance. Exceeded expectations.
This year was the first time filing claims since we bought the policy in 2018.
Filed 4 claims this year. Online filing was simple/quick. Claims processing also quick, like in a week or so. Prompt with email updates and detailed explanation of claims easily understood. Couldn't ask for more. Service has exceeded our expectations by far!

denied claim when covered before on same policy
The claims process is not as easy as it should be !! Denied a claim for a test that was done previously and paid for ! States it was a pre-existing condition ! Was not a pre-existing condition prior to enrollment ! In order to appeal their decision, I have to send in a list of paperwork and a personal vet note ! They already have all this information. They should just be able to review the case ! Not an easy streamlined process !

Very simple process and great customer service.
Recently had a $935 bill for simple "allergies", the care was very needed, but we simply don't have that much money laying around. Paying pets best $105 per month gives us 90% unlimited coverage to include a wellness plan. At the end of the day, we only had to crap out $93 and pets best paid the rest of the bill. Highly recommend them.
