Second Fur Baby

My soul baby battled 2 cancers and Pets Best was there for us through it all. I couldn't have done her expensive cancer treatments if it wasn't for Pets Best. Unfortunately, we lost the battle. But because of Pets Best, I got to spend 5 more months with her post diagnosis I recently ended up adopting a fur baby that I'm fostering and of course I signed up the baby with Pets Best right away. There's no other insurance company that I would trust. My fiance's baby uses Pets Best as well and we always tell our friends and families about how great they are

Unexpected Specialist Visit

A few months ago we noticed subtle changes in his right eye. After consulting with our primary Veterinarian our best chance would be to see a Veterinary Ophthalmologist for specialized care. It was determined that Rooster had a congenital defect and he will most likely need a procedure by the end of the year for cataract surgery. I'm glad we felt financially secure enough for him to be treated and this is all thanks to having a Pets Best plan. Rooster is only 4 years old and we only want gold star standard of care for our beloved family member

Horrible

Don’t use this pet insurance. Firstly the app never works, which is why the process is horrible. 2nd they considered constipation as a preexisting condition which is why my claim was denied (which is absolutely insane) 3rd customer service is absolutely zero help. I am disputing the claim but I doubt anything will happen. Waste of money. Tell people to not use them!

Great service

"I submitted a claim for my dog's bills due to an illness. The filing process was easy - I was able to just upload the receipts and click a few boxes on the site. Within just a couple days I had an email fully explaining the benefits to which we were entitled (which were great), and I had the check within a week. Having pet insurance is great peace of mind as my little guy gets older. "
