Poor coverage. Poor experience.

My veterinarian diagnosed my dog with hypothyroidism a year after purchasing this insurance. She had never been seen, treated, or diagnosed with this in the past. I filed claims totaling over $1000 for visits, test, treatment, and medications. The claim representative(s) claimed this was a preexisting condition since my dog had been seen for a skin infection prior to me purchasing this insurance. My veterinarian wrote a letter to the claim representative stating that the skin infection and hypothyroidism were no related and provided dates, which were within the policy period, in which my dog had been seen for the new illness. My claim continued to be denied with no expenses covered. The ease of claim submission does not outweigh the lack of coverage. I would not recommend this insurance to anyone, and I plan to cancel my policy.

Jax, a veterinarian’s dream

My boy Jax swallowed kids toys one month, a month later we had the whole house hated off where he didn’t have access to the kids toys…so he decided to eat the wife’s underwear and socks🤦‍♂️ can’t make this stuff up. Either way they fixed him both times at the veterinary office, both times claims paid within a reasonable amount of time! 10/10 would purchase again for future pups!

Pets Best Exceeds Expectations!!!

We have two yellow labs, 7-1/2 months of age. I chose Pets Best since the reviews were positive and I am a Farmers Ins customer also. I loved the fact that Pets Best allowed me to customize the level of insurance to meet our needs. Really flexible. We chose a deductible, coverage and premium that we were comfortable with. In the short time we’ve had our labs, each of them has had an emergency care situation. It was very comforting to know we would have some assistance in the costs for these events. Submitting a claim was so easy! Response and communication was prompt. Reimbursement was was right on time! Can’t imagine anything better! Very happy!
