Very stressful and frustrating to try to work withave been with Pets Best for 8 to 10…

I have been with Pets Best for 8 to 10 years with several pets. The company, service etc is vastly different than say, 5 years ago. Last claim I'm still waiting after 60 days...so much confusion, mixed messages from whoe er you can reach ( o. hold forever and a pretty rude woman who evidently, sells policies. I have paid 3 premiums since I started this claim. ...but. nothing from Pets Best. I'm terminating my policies and feel the quality etc has suffered alot. I would not recommend them at this point. I used to refer people all the time...its too bad. I'm not interested or need the kind of hassle and frustration I'm experiencing with this company. The claim I submitted is very basic and she had skin issues before but, they act like it requires great scrutiny. I don't have the time or emotional energy to deal with company anymore

Waste of Your Money

Waste of Your Money Pets Best is like any other insurance company, it is designed to take as much of your money while paying out for as few services as possible. Items like routine check ups, vaccinations, etc. are not covered and good luck trying to convince them that any of the services you receive at the vet are either. You are better off trying with another insurance company.

This company is a scam

This company is a scam! Not only do they take a super long time to process a claim they come up with any excuse to refuse your claim. I have a 1 year old puppy at the time 10 month who is healthy we got insurance for him in may in June he had a small growth on his back leg that required medical attention when I submitted the claim let’s best stated that it was a previous issue he had never been treated for it and I provided all the medical records a 10 month puppy could have… I am still here waiting for a response 3 months later this is a scam don’t waste your hard earned money!
