Pets Best is the WORST COMPANY OVER THE…

Pets Best is the WORST COMPANY OVER THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!!.. Don't do business with this people, don't throw your money in this TRASH CAN type of company! To open your account is easy and everything in the Policy is INCLUDED, but when you file a CLAIM and the result of your Claim :everything is EXCLUDED!!! After paying a little more than a $100 premium a month for our dog for several months, we made a Claim for $770. We supposed to have the best recommended coverage and, after 2 months waiting, we received a payment for $71. Save your money and take good care of your Pet, but instead of Pets "Best", I will go to social media promoting their REAL NAME... Pets WORST!!!

I have only 2 separate claims not yet settled. I appreciate though that I am notified when my claim received and the status that is still in process at this case.

I’m glad I had this policy

I would’ve rated this site at 5 stars but because of Covid it was very hard to talk to someone on the phone. I had to hold for over an hour before somebody got to me. But after that the gentleman who talked to me on the phone was very knowledgeable, helpful and answered all my questions professionally.
