False Information

I spoke with a representative before starting my account and directly asked if any future bloodwork, allergy shots, and ear infections would be covered under my policy. I was concerned because while my dog did not have any conditions at the time, she had previously had issues with allergies. My vet confirmed that she was healthy at the time of starting my policy. I was explicitly told all of that would be covered under my plan. When I submitted a claim for bloodwork due to my dog’s odd behavior and allergy shots for a rash she was exhibiting, both were denied. After talking to a customer service representative, she claimed that since my dog had an ear infection previously, all allergy related issues would be counted as prior conditions. She also said that bloodwork was not covered even though the representative originally told me it would be. I had heard rumors of Pets Best being a scam, but I decided to trust the representative anyway. This experience definitely verified these rumors.

Super easy and helpful

Our dog had a torn dew claw, and Greenlake Animal Hospital did a great job fixing the issue. I was dragging my feet getting reimbursed because I was worried about the time and effort, but Lemonade was amazing. The process was quick, and simple. We were approved and reimbursed faster than I could have imagined. I hope I never need to use it again, but I know the process will be simple if I do.

First claim - smooth as butter

This was the first event in 4 years for my very active Terrier mix. I submitted my claim (online) the day I received my vet bill post-surgery. HealthyPaws was responsive, asked the vet directly for the medical history which was submitted promptly (thank you) and HealthyPaws direct-deposited the expected reimbursement within a couple of days to my bank account. Such peace of mind having this insurance to back up my decisions regarding medical care.

Always loved Metlife, but now they suck!

Last three clans, there were incompetent processors that wouldn’t even process the claim they closed it. I have a claim going on now that I put July 20, 2023 and still waiting for reimbursement and it’s August 23 of 2023. I understand a claim can take up to 30 days but it’s over 30 days.. because when I put the claim in 7/20 incompetent processors obviously did not know how to process anything and kept on saying I exhausted my benefits when I just basically renewed my policy. they will always have an excuse and think that you should not be upset when surgery for a dog is very costly and I’m not made out of money… then call today which they have an option of a Citibank payment, which was never offered to me so even if the claim is approved, I’ll have to wait over a week just to get the money into my account. I’m purely pissed and next year I will be going to another insurance company.. and I see that on this reviews that there are people that had much more claim of reimbursement then I do. But when it comes to my claims, they don’t no how to process it they don’t process it they closed it. I have a whole list where it’s just zeros when I sent the claim in one time and they’re trying to tell me it’s duplicates and they’re giving me the amount which actually was from an expired policy from last year, so that shows you how they don’t know how to process the policy . CEO should know what’s going on in these companies of his branches of Metlife. I don’t think he would be very happy unless he’s in on it they’re taking her time but they take that premium out pretty quickly.

A great company even better with Care Credit

I had the protection of this company's coverage 2020- 2023. They were very good with claims, though you could never speak to claims dept. directly. Filing a claim couldn't be easier. You just snap a photo of your paid invoice, answer. A few simple questions, when, where & what for and submit. They did have a feature that provided a turnaround time frame for a claim each time you filed, but I think that feature disappeared. That was disappointing. My Herbie cat was well cared for due to this insurance company. Even better after I got Care Credit in conjunction with the coverage. Cause the insurance company reimburses you after you submit a paid invoice. With Care Credit, they pay upfront and you can pay them back when the claim is completed by PETS BEST. I would definitely recommend this company in conjunction with Care Credit. It's an awesome way to provide necessary & needed care immediately, without worrying about the costs. Thank you for the coverage & service.

Terrible Service

This insurance has taken off some coverage because the veterinary office inadvertently added something from our other dog, which has already passed away almost one year. The doctor has written a letter to my insurance explaining this error. I have sent multiple times detailed medical records, including doctor notes and the letter mentioned above. Now, 6 month later they are asking yet again for medical records. This is unacceptable and their service is less than mediocre.

Best Major Medical Policy

I have used several different pet insurance companies for various dogs in my life, but for major medical issues, I think Trupanion trumps them all. The one-time deductible for a given condition is unique in my experience, as most/all of the other companies' policies charge it again year after year for ongoing treatment of chronic conditions, and their claim processing is remarkably quick and efficient. Most of the time, there are only three or four days between claim and payment, and it's so convenient to have them deposit the payments into my checking account. It's not inexpensive, but neither is good veterinary care for our best four-legged friends. I'm very happy with Trupanion.

We’re sorry you were not satisfied with your plan. We do our best to be transparent throughout our website, during the enrollment process and in the plan documents available to each client in their online Healthy Paws account regarding the limited exclusions of our plan. Those exclusions are pre-existing conditions, preventative/routine care and the office visit fee (vet exam, emergency exam, recheck or consultation). Anyone visiting our website can see this information on our “Benefits, Coverage and Exclusions” page. Since the majority of your claims fell into one of the above categories, we could not provide coverage.
