Submitted a claim for medication for one of my dogs that I did not notice was missing the "paid receipt". Got a notice of what was needed from Pets Best by email, and submitted the complete claim, received the reimbursement promptly and as expected.

Lengthy Timeline for Claim Reimbursement

The insurance is okay but they take a very long time to process claims. In addition, seems like much of what you would think to be covered is not. They take a long time to tell you if additional paperwork is needed from your vet which then delays your reimbursement (if they decide to return anything). You do not have an area on the website, where you have itemized, in the aggregate, details of your coverage, deductible balance, copay payments, etc. The customer service and 24/7 access to a vet tech is good though.

This company takes months to process a claim, and they keep asking for the same information over and over even after it has been uploaded. I can NOT recommend them at all, it's a horrible, annoying, time-consuming waste of time to deal with them.

Claim took a long time and not worth it

Claim took an extremely long time to be reviewed. My dog is on the wellness plan and this claim was for a physical exam which required blood work and fecal/urine test to get my dog established at the vet for the first time. The review that came back only covered the vet's manual examination or $70. This is not what was understood from your advertising and promotion. Very disapointed

Easy, fairly quick and super helpful.

The process is simple and user friendly, and usually, fast and well explained. So far the insurance have been super helpful and worked well for us. The monthly payment had increased but I still think is doable and worth the investment. I’m glad that I’m able to get my pupps insured with PetsBest.
