Pets Best is A1

I never thought about getting pet insurance previous to my Siberian Husky that I adopted from a Husky rescue because of all the ones I researched, this one seemed to have the best wellness insurance and again, I knew nothing about pet insurance and honestly thought it was a ruse but this is the best pet insurance to have and I highly recommend it. I took my dog to the vet for his very first checkup and he required a check for heartworms, bloodwork, a heartworm pill and the office visit, it came out to 160.00. I received a copy of my invoice got home and filed a claim on Pets Best website under my pet's insurance and it took less than a week before I was reimbursed for the office visit, heartworm check and bloodwork but not the elective heartworm medicine I purchased but a few days ago I received an email with the reimbursement invoice attached and I received 130.00 to be deposited into my account in a few days. I must say this insurance is A1 and so far so good!!!!!!!

Pets Worst

Pets Best - needs to rename itself to Pet's Worst - our motto is do everything imaginable to not pay a claim. And in the unlikelihood we have to pay a claim, make sure its about $0.10 on the $1.00 of the actual bill and pay it on a 30 day+ schedule. Absolutely the worst experience/biggest scam I've ever dealt with in my lifetime!! Completely wasted 6 mos of paying a premium to this scam of a company after submitting two legitimate medical bills - where they found every possible reason not to pay or a fraction of the actual cost of the medication. Save your money and find a different Pet insurance company or you'll end-up writing a review like me after submitting a few claims!!
