So far we have no problems with our claims. Have been very happy with this insurance. We had another plan and after the first year they increased our cost of insurance a lot.

This may be the worst pet insurance…

This may be the worst pet insurance company existing. Notice all the previous reviews were "invited" to review, so here is my honest personal experience. Our puppy ingested something toxic in our laundry room leftover by previous tenants that we rushed him to the ER for October 2nd. We submitted the claim almost 60 days ago and my portal still says "waiting on vet info" which is incorrect since I went into my vet's office and watched them send it over. When I asked PetsBest they just said their portal doesnt update properly (then fix it????). It's Nov 23rd and they said they still have no decision and we likely wont even get paid close to what should be covered. Not even 2 weeks later our vet gives us a prescription to treat our puppy's stomach illness and PetsBest denies the claim saying it was "preventative" so we had to submit an appeal and have our vet manually write that the medicine was used to treat our puppy rather than prevent. We still have not heard back from that a month later. Not to mention the 14 calls I have made (I keep a call log) have an average wait time of 47 minutes.... this insurance company is a joke! Please save your money.
