PetsBest is the best purchase I've made for my puppy!

Researched a lot of pet insurance companies before I purchased coverage for the first time in March - PetsBest has already helped me twice! Over the past 3 years, I've lost four senior dogs and it was a financial hardship with two of them. When I brought home my new puppy in February, pet insurance was the first and BEST purchase I made.

Great Coverage!

So happy with the wellness plan! With a new puppy it is really helping with all required Bet visits and his shots!

They take way too long

They take so long with the claim process. I thought it was 1-2 days as they said but it's a lie. It takes almost a month or a month for them to process your claim. The service sucks. I tried to talk to them on the phone and waited an hour... And I contacted them through the online chat and even that took a long time? And I contacted them through email and it took them a week! Hire more people! But hey their wellness plan is a better deal than other companies.

Pets best gave us truly the most peaceful insurance experience ever. We were able to enjoy the puppy more!

Pets best gave us truly the most amazing insurance experience ever, home, auto, health combined ! They have really been keeping up their word in terms of coverage. No hidden mumbo jumbo. I paid, I got covered. Isnt that the best part of any insurance ? My puppy had tummy issues with recurrent diarrhea and it needed multiple vet visits and some. Pets best has been with us throughout the journey. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking only for the best for their pets!!
