Totally mislead..

I have Had my 13-year-old lab insured with Pets Best since he was six months old. I found out recently that, although I was told by the Pets Best rep I spoke with when I called to inquire about my largely increasing monthly payments, Years ago , she said if my dog was ever to get cancer, as labs commonly do, as he got older, that he would be completely covered for all of his treatments. I was not aware that there was a cap on each claim of $2500. I Guess I should not have taken her word for it and read the fine print. Every year the amount each month increases largely, and I’ve been paying , thinking as he gets older if he were to get anything like cancer, then we would be covered. I was upset to find out today, that that’s not true. $2500 doesn’t go very far when we’re talking about cancer treatments So because I was so mislead , if my dog does get a chronic serious condition, I will not be able to afford treatment. and I cannot sign up any where else At this point , because he is an older dog and the premium will be completely unaffordable. I spoke with A supervisor but she could not, or would help me with this critical issue.

Straightforward Claims Process and Excellent Customer Service

I recently took our 5 yr old Newfoundland to our vet for a variety of issues: his back leg trembled and he was not putting full weight on it, he had a small growth on his gums and he needed to have his teeth cleaned. I called Pets Best before going to the vet and the customer service rep told me that the vets report needed to be very detailed, including notes and codes for all procedures. Even the anaesthesia was broken down into how much time was allotted for each procedure because the teeth cleaning is not covered under Pets Best but the other procedures were. I easily uploaded the forms to my mobile app account and within a month they had reimbursed us for $1100 of the $2000 we paid.
