Great insurance company!

Have had this insurance for approximately 5 years (since Boss was a puppy), Never have put in a claim until now. When growths were discovered on pets gums, was able to find a reasonable charge for removal, etc. When claim submitted, they were quick in responding with explanations and refunds. Would recommend this organization to anyone. When speaking with representatives, they were polite, knowledgeable and helpful. Great job Pets Best!

Pets Best Insurance Make Claims Impossible. Beware

We signed our Doberman puppy Betsy up in the hope nothing would happen. Being a puppy she got sick and hurt a leg. Pets Best insurance did there utmost to deny any claims - "for lack of information". They were provided receipts from the vet visits - including emergency care - AND permission to access records from our vet. After FOUR months of back and forward - emails and calls - I was told everything was sorted and we were good to go. A few days later, we receive an email stating all claims have been denied - due to "lack of evidence". Never again. We will be changing providers ASAP. Pets Best are a terrible company. BEWARE.

Extremely happy with the amount Pets Best paid

During my pet's spay, it was discovered she needed to have baby teeth pulled because adult teeth were in. She also had an unerupted tooth that needed some help coming thru. Pets Best paid more than I even anticipated they would because it was hard for me to try to separate out the various procedures. I did not have routine care for the spay, so some of this was covered and some was not. I was extremely happy with the amount Pets Best paid for this.
