SCAM

I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription and the company has made it nearly impossible to do so. I have screenshots showing that: • There is no cancellation option anywhere on their website. • Their chat service provides no cancellation path or instructions. • Their Help Center returns no results when searching “cancel.” The only cancellation method they provide is calling in, but when you call, you’re placed on hold for hours. This means there is no actual way to cancel, which feels intentionally obstructive. At this point, I’m going to dispute the charges through my credit card and report the transaction as unauthorized since they’re not allowing me to cancel through any reasonable means. This isn’t the first issue I’ve had with them. My dog contracted leptospirosis, a condition explicitly covered under the policy at the time, and they still spent six months fighting the claim before finally reimbursing me. When an insurance company refuses to honor coverage you paid for — and then makes canceling nearly impossible — that’s unacceptable.

Pets Best Claim review.

"I had to take my little dude to the emergency room after I noticed some green discharge from his eye. I wasn't too worried knowing I had insurance on both of my dogs. After unsuccessfully trying to upload my claim via the app or website, I called and was directed to send an email for my claim. After about 8-10 days I received an email stating that my claim was going to be paid with no further documentation needed. Pretty easy process.

Best choice I’ve made in 20 years!!

"After 20 years of paying until it hurt, I decided to try pet insurance for my brand new poodle pup after my sister recommended you. The insurance pays for itself. I had my first round of vaccinations, wellness check and heartworm/flea/tick preventatives and was more than pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was reimbursed. All easily uploaded via my phone. Super fast turnaround and attention to my claim. So happy I went with Pet's Best!"
