Seems like a rip-off.

After paying the premium for a couple years, my dog needed emergency x-rays. It cost almost $400. Instead of any reimbursement, i was told that it would be applied to my yearly deductible of $500. Where's the benefit?

Waste of money

Waste of money. Took over 3 months to process two of my claims and the first time they denied it because they claimed they never heard back from my vet with medical records but my vet confirmed with me that they had sent all medical records - could not get in contact with anyone from Pets best - did the same claim again and took another month, for them to just deny it again. When they denied the claim, they just copied and pasted words from their policy - nothing personal, doubt they even looked at it. They take the money from your account like clock work but they won't reply to you. I have sent over 5 e-mails, called multiple times and I have never gotten a response. I will be cancelling.

Trixie's treatment & paid amount, the timely matter in which this was handled was quick, thorough & efficient.

We were greatly appreciative in the speedy amount your company took in the Re-embursement from our ins. for Trixie. So glad we have your service. Thank you, John & Shirley Tarrant
