Not really a good choice

I got some bad customer service, tooks more than a week to hear anything about my claim. Even though they cover visits and medication, they denied it. No point in paying for the insurance if they are not going to help pay expenses when you need them.

Do not purchase-rip off alert

I was referred to this program after finding a feral cat that I thought would need some additional care. They accepted my payments without question but within two months I discovered she had a condition that required she have her teeth removed due to an infection. The surgery was over $2000 but necessary. Pet claims has refused to pay any of the bill even though my insurance detail said it would pay 90 percent. This is like every other insurance company. They have no intention of paying anything. I do think they pay for dogs per other people I know but I have seen this issue with cats. This company should be shut down. They are always willing to take money but not willing to pay out. It also mysteriously took three months for them to decide they would not pay the claim all while they still took my monthly payment. These are the very worst types of people and companies. Frankly, I am disgusted.

Best Pet Insurance Available.

Dixie had her yearly wellness checkup, extensive for a one year old puppy. Claim was processed in less than a week. We have had Pest Best for a 9 years on Abby our older Yorkie, never an issue with claims, always paid what the policy we selected covered. Getting another Yorkie, Dixie we immediately bought her policy. at 6 months old she broke her left leg, the cost were astronomical in getting the operation, surgical follow ups, medication and checkups. Pets Best saved us financially, thank you, thank you I can't express that enough. Highly Recommended...
