Beware Pet Parents: PetsBest is a Cruel Company

Truly horrified that I purchased insurance from such a heartless company. I would truly encourage any pet parent to avoid PetsBest for the sake of the care of their pet. I am not just disappointed but astounded by the cruelty.

Pets Best is the BEST!!

Our 2 y/o cat suddenly started crying out in pain one afternoon which resulted in a visit. Two visits, a procedure and hospital stay later for bladder stones, I have been shouting Pets Best's praise from the rooftops. We could t have gotten him the help he needed if we didn't have insurance. The claims process, communication, and payment is easy and straightforward. Thank you!!

Thank you🐾

Apollo was diagnosed with EPI last July. It was a scary couple months from when he first started getting sick to when he was diagnosed. It's still a difficult disease to manage, but Pets Best takes all the financial stress away. We cant thank you all enough - without the enzyme supplements you cover for him, he wouldn't be able to live. Thank you💛

Satisfactory

It absolutely no problem filing a claim for my pets wellness visit. I also carry emergency for my pet as well. I think the price is is reasonable I think the reimbursement is reasonable as well. Everything is super simple. I’m able to submit stuff through my phone to make it easier. Everything is told to you upfront. My pet insurance isn’t accepted through the vet so I have to submit the claim after I pay, which was stated ahead of time and I had no problem getting reimbursed super simple great experience..
