Highly Recommended

We have been with Pets Best since our Patch was 6 months old. As fur parents, we were not expecting to use pet insurance. It was for peace of mind until we needed it. Patch started developing severe allergies before he turned 1 which continued throughout his lifetime. Pets Best was always on top of our claims. Never had any push back. Claims were easy to turn in and the reimbursement was timely. Explanation of benefits are clearly written out and summarized. When we had to close out Pets Best after Patch’s passing, their customer service representative was extremely empathetic and sincere in speaking with me. It was a very moving experience. For that reason alone, I would choose Pets Best all over again should we decide to get another fur baby.

Dishonest and unhelpful

This company is disingenuous and overly expansive regarding what it considers a preexisting condition. They denied claims related to a scratch on my dog’s cornea (though this injury occurred in June and had never occurred before). They are incredibly unhelpful and seek to avoid any reimbursement.
