Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

Just outstanding service.

Where do I start? If I could give less than 1 star I would. Well, my experience with this company was fine as long as I was paying my monthly dues and had no claims. I’ve had nothing but problems this year with them and denying claim after claim. I found out they needed medical records from my dogs past vet visits. We’ve taken our dog to numerous vets to try to figure out his issues. We got on the track of food allergies and did extensive testing for this. The current vet put him on a special food so it won’t trigger his immune system (this is what the vet told us). Ok, that problem solved. He did fine on that food until he got an infection and was put on antibiotics. This was August of this year (2018). He’s been back numerous times for itching, licking, etc. amoungst other non allergy issues. The claims were getting denied left and right. They denied the whole claim, what was thought to be allergy related or not. I finally contacted them and asked what the problem was for these getting denied. They were STILL wanting medical records. I asked them if I needed to go get them and submit them and was told over and over they would get them to just give the name of the vet office and they would take care of the rest. I was told after one phone call what vet records they were missing so I went to the vet and got them myself. When I called to find out who to send them to, they said they had those, they needed another vets records. WHAT?!?!?!? I was beyond frustrated by this. I asked what they needed to get these claims taken care of because this had been going on for 4 months and was unacceptable! They finally informed me that the vets notes pointed toward his allergy problem. I informed them that he had preexisting FOOD allergies and now we were looking at environmental allergies. I asked if they lump them together because in my mind, they are two completely separate issues. They said they are different but the vets notes are too vague. They don’t specify which allergies the vet is talking about. Well, looking at the treatments we’ve been trying, it should be pretty clear we aren’t working on a food allergy. Long story short, still no resolution and now I’m working on appealing this. If you have A LOT of fight in you, go with this company. They will DEFINITELY give you a run for your money (pun intended)!

Easy to submit a claim and receive payment and although I understand (to a degree) I think the price increase was pretty steep.

So far I am very pleased with Pets Best. I have only used the insurance once and their response was timely and what I expected. The news emails that are provided have been very useful and look forward to many more.

I love this insurance because it has a Wellness Plan along with emergency care and I got to select exactly what I wanted on it what my deductible was going to be. I found it had more than a lot of others that also offer Wellness Plans that were considerably more expensive. Another thing that I like about it is my doctor's office fills out the forms and sends them in for me on me. This company makes it easier to get your claims back or find information out on a previous claim they work with you and a very understanding and caring about your four-legged fur babies
