Perfect for Pet Parents!

Pets Best has been so helpful when I got a new puppy! The wellness and illness/injury benefits have both come in handy as she needed all her shots and then hurt her paw needing a surgery that would have cost almost $1000 without the insurance. Pets Best covered 90% of that cost! So beneficial. I highly recommend it for any pet parent.

I made 2 claims

I made 2 claims. I did not receive the claims back as fast as I wouldve hoped for, but quicker than the 35 days period they said, which for me I think it is very slow. The coverage was okay. I have the most premium benefits and I did not see too much benefit. Paid 200 at vet and got 85 back, which was what I paid for the insurance monthly anyway.

They NEVER pay, but ALWAYS jack up the policy!!!

Pathetic!! Raised my policy 33% last yr and my dog is healthy. The FEW times I have tried to get $$$ back is almost ALWAYS so sad, too bad!!! When I first got them used to tell as many as possible about them. THAT has changed!!!
