Going on 2 months and they can't pay 2 claims but they have no problem taking my monthly premium on time. This company is a complete fraud. I am reporting them to the BBB and trying to find a new insurance company ASAP. They do not fulfill the contract. My claims are approved yet they are keeping thousands of dollars from me. This company should be shut down. And you cannot get a person on the phone.

I didn’t get a clear answer to my questions. The answer to me was, well if you you did this then this is the answer, but if you did this, then this is the answer. Well I still don’t have the answer to what I asked. I wanted to know when and how I would receive my reimbursement. I am canceling Pets Best Insurance this week. Thanks

There is no point in paying for this.

There is no point in purchasing an insurance plan to be told that your pet has a pre existing condition even if there is no prof of it. The vet and hospital can’t find anything pre existing in their records yet the insurance is claiming that. We were promised that as long as the dog was healthy and medical records didn’t show issues, the surgery would be covered. We kept the insurance and paid on it for almost a year every month. He needed a surgery and the insurance claims the issue was pre existing yet we bought the insurance only a few days after getting the puppy. Now we have a 4,000 bill and a monthly payment each month only to be told they don’t cover anything. Unbelievable.

Glad I'm not paying this alone

Cubby is our one year old Shih Tsu. He is going to be neutered and have an umbilical hernial taken care of. I'm very glad to have insurance that covers a great deal of this expense. The process of filing a claim is simple and the money deposited right into my account.

Pet's Best is The BEST!

Pet's Best is the insurance company I've found to be the best out of all the "top" rated ones. I've had 2 before and they were not good in one way or another. We have 2 large Ragdoll cats, and Pet's Best is what I recommend to anyone who asks me. Keep doing your wonderful job. :)
