Best Investment if you have a pet!!

They cover about 90% of your bills. It has saved me so much. My dog had to have an ACL repair and they covers 95% of it. 2 months later he had to under go the same surgery due to complications and they covered 95% of that as well. Pet insurance is the best investment you can make and I recommend Petsbest.

1st time Having Pet insurance

I’ve had Pets Best insurance for about 2 weeks.It was very easy to apply and took about 5 minutes.The Person I spoke with was very informative and never Pushed or tried a “Hard Sell”.The Rate was competitive(Around 60.00 a month) I have filed 3 claims,1 for the initial exam and 2nd distemper shot,A Fecal test and 3rd claim was for the deworming medication.The costs were 130.00,30.50 & 22.50.So far I haven’t heard back yet(5 Days since submitting).I know the Medication isn’t on the approved list but I’m hoping they at least cover part of the Checkup. I will write another review after I hear back.Everything was easy to submit and hopefully I’ll get some type of reimbursement. It’s just nice to have coverage for my furry family member if (God Forbid) anything serious ever happened.

Pets Best is the BEST!

I am so grateful to Pets Best insurance for giving me peace of mind through a very difficult time. My dog was diagnosed with lymphoma in April and the cost for treatment is substantial. I recently lost my husband and he was the sole provider for our family and I honestly did't know how I would be able to pay the vet bills. The claims process is very easy and the coverage you offer is exceptional. I am extremely thankful that I can concentrate on taking care of my beloved boy instead of worrying how I am going to pay for his treatments. I will continue to refer you to as many people as I can. Thank you!!

Pets best is a must if you have pets…

Pets best is a must if you have pets getting older. I think they are fair in the reimbursement criteria. I do not have any other company to compare Pets best to but they have been reasonable and fair.

Worse than useless

This "insurance" is a rip-off and a scam. Out of six claims, ALL have been denied, even for things that are obviously covered in their policy. The decision takes weeks or months to received. It's impossible to speak to a representative. A waste of money and time.

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill. Reimbursements are sent directly to CareCredit credit card when chosen as your default reimbursement method. Choose to have your eligible claim payment reimbursed directly back to your CareCredit card.

Payout Limits

$5000 -Unlimited annual limit, depending on your chosen plan. Unlimited lifetime limits.
