Happy with Pets Best

I knew that I had a deductible to pass before I would get reimbursed. I wasn't sure what % I would get back, either. I was happy to see the amount that I will get back. Thank You Pets Best Tom

Good insurance

Pets Best insurance is very responsible company. Every request was answered in timely manner. I'll enroll my second pet next year after good experience with first one.

Dont buy. Sneaky fine print.

Ive been paying pets best for years and luckily have never had a emergency claim but scared if I do because of hidden fine print. I pay $175 a month (after increasing my deductible) and the insurance doesn’t pay for even 50% of most my regular maintenance bills if at all. Claims is quick which is nice but benefits are scammy, and restricted with tons of fine print. Without notice they changed my rate as my dog got older which seems ridiculous cuz i had been paying into the plan for years and should have been built into the original cost. Found cheaper better coverage alternatives in the market so shop around before buying w petsbest. I cant switch my policy now cuz my healthy dog is 12 now, but pets best is not worth the value. Had I saved that money since I started the plan I would be way up in cash in hand w ample leftovers for an emergency should one, god forbid, occur with my dog down the line. Save every month or buy somewhere else.
