This is a total scam

Pet's Best is a scam. Their BBB ratings are terrible. I canceled my policy and they charged me anyway. Then when I notified them, they refunded me for the portion of the month "they covered." They shouldn't have charged me at all since I had canceled. The reason I canceled is because my dog isn't covered unless I've paid for a $1,400 dental exam and cleaning. That is not clear at all in the policy. Their customer service is unresponsive and incapable of listening and can't solve problems. I have asked them for a full refund but they won't respond.

Didn’t cover barely anything and I had…

Didn’t cover barely anything and I had the highest insurance they offered. Covered less than 30% of my vet bill.

Long processing times

I’m happy with the EOB and everything is very clear, but the current processing times are way too long. I have another dog who has insurance through Figo and the last two claims I’ve filed with them have been closed in half a day - one being on the Fourth of July. If PetBest had better turnaround times on claims (even a week would be fine), I wouldn’t have any complaints. The most recent claim I filed took over a month to get processed. Please look at this issue. Thanks!

Excellent, Easy Claims

Highly recommend Pet's Best! They're very transparent with their claims, and keep me posted throughout the claims process. It's super easy to submit claims (I've submitted multiple for my 2 dogs) and have had no issues with payment. I preciously had a different company with a different dog--and they paid very little and made me submit a ridiculous amount of paperwork. I wound up cancelling because it cost more than they paid. NOT the case with Pet's Best!! They've made pet ownership more affordable!! Highly recommend!
