Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

I have submitted 8 claims within 4 months and each one has been reimbursed promptly (within 2 weeks). I was nervous the first time I sent the claims because I went to 5 doctors and I thought that they would be suspicious and fight the way I went about finding out whether my dog had cancer (he does not). They did not fight my claims and they promptly reimbursed what I was owed. I am very excited about them because my dog keeps having a lot of illnesses and accidents. I do not know what will happen when they wil be under aetna. However, they just increased my premium.

I am very impressed with PETS BEST insurance. They actually called me to tell me that I might be able to get more of a refund than I had expected because they were now covering certain supplements which is very intelligent because it keeps the animals healthier and lowers vet bills. They have good policies, excepting that they still have riders, but they pay out very well and quickly with no hassles. If there is ever a question, they are open to my vets' feedback and resolve the matter quickly. I find them extremely fair. If only we humans could have such good coverage in the United States. Perhaps the congress needs to look at PETS BEST insurance. I always recommend this company to other pet owners.

I have had several pet insurance companies for my pets. You have to read the fine print especially when it comes to continued care for a disorder that occurred in a previous year. Many companies wont cover. I have had a couple of claims with PetsBest and had a problem with one but my vet cleared it up and PetsBest came thru. My subsequent claims have been paid and very timely. Ive had PetsHealth and VPI and would not recommend these insurance companies. Thus far I dont have any issues with them and their payments have come within 10 days or less. However, I have not had any serious complications to cover so cant attest to how they will measure up if this arose.

I have had Pets Best insurance for over a year now and I have to say i am impressed with their turn around time. I also found their representatives to be imformative. I recently submitted a claim for $6000 for a herniated disc and I was worried the claim process would take a long time. I paid for the bill with my credit card and I was afraid it would be a while before it would be approved because of the charges involved. As most know, credit cards need to be paid within 30 days. Well, I'm very pleased to say that I received my reimbursement in less than two weeks. I have submitted other claims and the process has always been smooth.

I loved Pet's Best. I signed up for it within a day of it becoming available in my state! I recommended it to family, friends, strangers - anyone with a dog that would listen! They paid every claim submitted in a timely manner - and with absolutely no problems. And now they've changed underwriters - and no longer are keeping one of their promises. They HAD a wonderful program where you could pay an extra $12 a year and have your dogs premiums stay the same until their 8th birthday. When I saw this I thought "WOW - you'd be crazy NOT to do that". I used that as a selling point to have a good friend get the policy even though money was tight at their house. I read the agreement carefully and looked for any loop holes - but when I read the part of the contract that said 'Discontinuation of Fixed Premium Program: the company may, at any time in its discretion, discontinue offering the Fixed Premium option to new insured. The company, however, will continue to honor and provide the Fixed Premium optional coverage for any existing insured who has purchased the option prior to termination of the program, subject to the terms and conditions of this policy.' I figured - GREAT! I'm in the program - I'll just have the yearly fees automatically be deducted - and even if they discontinue the program I'll still be fine - it says right there that they will continue to honor the fixed premium. Well - my policy auto renewed 2 weeks ago - and when it did I was told that the underwriter changed to Aetna and they were discontinuing the fixed premium program. I thought to myself 'that's fine - my original policy states they'll honor the program even if discontinued'. Well - apparently not. Apparently their policies and honor mean nothing. Since Aetna doesn't want to continue with the program - they will discontinue it for everyone - no matter what the original policy states. And it's not even a tiny raise in price - for me it's an increase of $150 a year for the premium and an additional $25 per visit for the deductible. Now, unfortunately I can't sing their praises everywhere I go - since I have no way of knowing what they will decide to change next - and can't trust that they will hold true to our original agreement.
