Everything went well for my first claim submissions. It took a bit more time than expected, but I understand it's a busy time.

My experience was great

My experience was great. Adding in my direct deposit info was super easy and I really appreciated receiving an email letting me know the claim was approved as it let me know I should monitor my bank account for a deposit. As a first time claimer, I am super happy with this experience.

2 pets, same health, 2 insurance companies. One Sucks.

I have two cats, one covered with PetsBest and the other with Figo Pet Insurance. Both of them had the same procedure done (same insurance coverage) where they had to clean their teeth and ended up extracting a few teeth each. Figo covered EVERYTHING. PetsBest denied it all. I even pay for the highest coverage where vet visits claim to be covered and prescription meds. They said its not covered. My advice is to READ THE FINE PRINT. Pets Best is incredibly misleading in what they cover and you are made to believe these things are covered until they dig up some far fetched clause that "qualifies" you or doesnt. What a waste of money. Immoral. This company is a scam. I have cancelled their insurance and am moving my cat over to Figo Pet insurance
