A great company to have pet coverage with

Like all of us, we get insurance hoping not to use it, but are so happy to have it when we need it. I have had a policy on my dog with PetsBest for over sever years, and they have been amazing on all preventative and illness care. Simple and prompt claims process.

Never again

2 different dogs in a row they wouldn’t cover because I put in the claim before the policy kicked in. After 7 months, really?!? They also picked everything apart and kept having me send in the same invoices over over saying dogs name wasn’t on it when it clearly was. It was a painful and unnecessary experience and I, once again, will be getting rid of pets best. A colossal disappointment Never once did I get totalk to a human, this was all automated

Our Chihuahua need emergency care over…

Our Chihuahua need emergency care over the weekend while we were traveling and we ended up filing a claim once we were home. The benefits were applied exactly as promised and we were paid promptly before the 30 days. We have a very healthy dog and never thought we would need insurance, but a kidney stone was an unexpected event and quite costly. We were grateful for the wonderful doctors who took care of our baby and for having insurance to cover his treatment.
