Te Ata herniated disk surgery

Te Ata herniated a disk between C3 and C4 and was paralyzed. She had to have triage, xrays, intial MRI, 3 hours away, emergency care at Oklahoma Veterinary Specialists and surgery. All completed within 30 hours, which was the key to success. Knowing that I had Pets Best insurance that paid 90/10, I never worried about the expense we were going to have. Pets Best even covered the Sports Medicine rehab and acupuncture. With so many invoices and records, it did take a little longer than usual. Received all payments combined within 30 days. Any new invoices that still pertain to rehab is usually paid within a week. Would not change for anything. Pets Best has been very good for my doberman kids"

Money well spent

Although payment isn't instantaneous, they come through and it is a very easy process. And mine probably takes a bit longer as my dogs condition (gall bladder sludge) isn't one of the choices so they always have to reach out for more info so that takes a little longer but I've been really happy with the insurance and very grateful to have purchased it. It is the 1st time I've ever bought it and it has truly paid off!

we couldn't be more satisfied

our golden went to our vet for a spay on April 24th The blood work showed high liver enzymes so our vet recommended we go to an emergency hospital for the spay and biopsy and of course it was much more expensive so we put in a claim to Pet's Best hoping to get some financial relief and they covered the 80 percent plus the deductible for the whole procedure! We couldn't be happier

Worst

I have a lot of complaints about the claims through this company. But to make it short I pay for insurance that does no good. I am better off putting the money I pay them into savings to use at the vet. They are difficult to work with.
