Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

I attempted to reach Pets Best by phone and was on hold for over 45 minutes and hung up at that point. Only way to reach the company was by "chat." Very hard to explain issues through chat! I was also sent an email that was erroneous saying that my claim had been closed. That was done by mistake and took quite awhile to get resolved. This was my first claim and the process was very underwhelming. The issue finally got resolved but took a significant amount of time.

Pets best has been great every time I file a claim. They are quick to respond. EOBs are easy to read

I was thinking on getting a pet insurance since I got my puppy 3 months ago but with are in the middle of a pandemic and it was a little hard so I waited until blackfriday for it, on Nov. the 27th I enrolled and paid the full amount FOR THE 3 DAYS LEFT. My dog had thrown up by now but the doctors said it was probably a parasite, he started loosing a lot of weight, got diarrhea together with the vomiting and was not doing good, you could see his spinal cord so I took him to another doctor on Dec. 2nd, he suspected an intussusception and reffered me to do a sonogram ASAP, on Dec. 3rd at 8a.m. we did the sonogram and there it was, the intussusception had already damaged so much in so little time, they advised us to do inmediate surgery to remove part of the intestine. Doctor said to do that same day or the latest the day after, or else my puppy was going to pass away(painfully) so I got myself in debt with an extra credit card hoping and expecting the insurance to pay for it, some or most. Because after all it was an emergency. The answered I received? It will not start working until after 14 DAYS, what was I suppose to do? Ask my dog to not die for another week? I do not understand why I had to PAY FULL AMOUNT FOR 3 DAYS LEFT ON THE MONTH specially when if something happended in that time frame they were going to say "oops, can't pay" I should have not been charge until after the 14 days. Then insurance needs to start working as soon as I ENROLL AND PAY. When you get a vehicle insurance and you get into a massive accident the day after, if you get life insurance and die the day after, if you get house insurance and it burns the day after, they don't say "oops, can't pay"

Just submitted my first claim. Impressed with the ease of the process and the prompt refund. Very thankful for the insurance coverage for my pets.

You need live operators to answer phone. They need to answer questions NOT direct to written material for you to research your questions-PERIOD!
