Avoid at all costs
PetsBest took a month to process my claim for a standard vet visit and then did not pay the whole amount - they did not even cover the disposal fee - please read the reviews on google or bbb before you choose an insurance company.

There When I Needed Them
They've been wonderful. I didn't use it for the first year and a half or so. Once I did need to use it nothing was ever denied out right. Something's fall under exclusions but they were minor charges. I'm extremely grateful to Pets Best as they gave me more time with my beloved kitty and restored her comfort. For reference, she had a tumor on a lung love the size of a golf or ping-pong ball. She's a 9lb cat so that's pretty significant.
I also called in advance just to see if I can get a pre-authorized as I was very worried about not getting reimbursed. They put me at ease ensuring me that this is a type of stuff this policy is for. Since I have been with them for quite some time they seem to be no question it was not pre-existing so that's the only thing I would look out for as a prospective member. Don't expect to have the insurance for 2 months and you easily get reimbursed for a major surgery that may have been pre-existing (diagnosed pre-existing) also there are usually breed-based exclusions, which is also normal.

Good enough.
No real issue, but very slow in processing claims. They say it's because of the current situation(coronavirus), but they were always slower than what they claimed even before this. They used to say they could process in 2-3 days but that's never happened. Latest claim was exactly 40 days.
I give 4 stars because they are a proper pet insurance company and I have received exactly what I expected when my dog had an emergency situation. They just need to get their times down for claims.
