Worst Customer Service

Pets Best has the worst customer service of any pet insurance company I've spoke with. I was on hold for more than 30 minutes when trying to ask questions about coverage. I eventually hung up after they didn't answer, but who knows how long it would have taken. Stay away from them.

Exceptional Customer Service

Our pet needed quite a few days in the pet hospital for pneumonia and ingestion of a foreign body (plastic). Pets Best came through for us and reimbursed the full 80% after our deductible. The customer service was excellent. I especially want to thank their representative Paul for his assistance and thorough follow up. He kept us updated and ensured the claim moved along. Thank you! They are “the Best”!

All worked out

I recently submitted 2 claims and both were denied stating info from vet not received. I contacted Pets Best by chat (good luck getting through on phone!) and they explained that there was no prior history on my doggie. This is because she was newly adopted. Rep resubmitted claims with that info and both were quickly approved! Pretty easy overall!
