Very difficult to file a claim..communication poor

Very difficult to file a claim. Said needed more information from my vet and that they would call. Said they could not contact my vet and closed the claim. I have no idea what additional information they needed but they just went ahead and closed the claim.

Unrealistic claims policy

I submitted a claim for an ear infection on an 18-month-old Goldendoodle. It was denied because he had an ear infection before that was treated and was corrected. He got another ear infection unrelated to the first and I was told the denial was because of a previous instance. I was told that we would not get a claim for an ear infection approved for the rest of his life. Dogs with floppy ears periodically get ear infections and Pets Best knew what kind of dog he was when we signed up. If I had wanted catastrophic coverage only, I would have expected the price to be substantially lower than it is. It appears that unless you sign up your dog at birth, little except catastrophic events would be covered. What a waste of time and money. I cancelled the policy.

Best pet insurance for the monthly premium that covers the your vet bill. Searched for a month to decide which one to select. Then a month later ended up in the VET ER with a $1700 bill for a seizure. Pets Best covered it all except for $15 waste fee and applied some towards the deductible. Highly recommend this insurance and best $29 that I have ever spent. They have a great app on your phone to track the progress and upload documents for easy processing.

I was trying to contact the customer service, but no body answered. Even the online chat told me they will contact me after reviewing my claim, I didn't get any response. My wellness package is a waste of money.
