The wait time for decisions regarding claims including initial reviews and appeals is way too long. The cost of coverage has gone up considerably and the wellness coverage is not worth the expense.

wishing i could give 0 stars

We have never missed a payment--Placed a claim for a cruciate tear surgery and after weeks of diligently sending Pets best every article of history, payment history ect that they requested in a very timely manner they denied the claim stating it was a preexisting condition-- my dog suffered from necrotizing fascitis aka a septic joint and was NEVER diagnosed with a cruciate tear in that leg...This is definitely disappointing considering i've been with their partner Progressive for YEARS and never had a problem with their partner. I would definitely go with another company in the future.
