Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

Prompt claim responses.

PetsBest takes a long time to process a claim, close to 30 days. Preexisting condition definition is very broad, be sure you understand it before signing up. For example: if there is a record of your dog ever itching, they may exclude any Dermatology condition.

this company was great when I first started using them. now they are getting greedy and increasing my premium over 20% more than the year prior. when I try to sign up a new pet with this company the rate is the same as what I am currently paying. They are arbitrarily raising my premium with no cause. They have been extremely slow to reply when reaching out for additional explanations. Look elsewhere for a pet insurance company.

I recently had to have a procedure done for my Shih Tzu because she had eye lashes growing into her eyes and laying on her eyes causing constant irritation and tearing. Can you imagine having several eye lashes laying being in your eyes every day, all day? Even though it was a very costly surgery, (freezing of the affected hair follicles so they won't continue to grow), Pets Best paid almost the entire bill minus the deductible. Over $2000! Also paid for most of the pre surgery visit to determine if surgery was needed. I couldn't be happier with their response and the speed of being refunded! This is an amazing company. Don't put off signing up your dog. Especially helpful for full breed puppies, since you don't know what type of issues they will have. I will be continuing with Pets Best as they have proven themselves tenfold! Thank you Pets Best!

What we thought was a possible UTI ended up being a tumour in her chest, taking up about 1/3 of her chest. Truly unclear as to what was going on, additional blood work was recommended and x-rays at our regular vet. Based on what was scene on the x-ray, our vet wanted us to see a specialty vet; however, getting into a specialist vet was extremely difficult - with appointments booked 2 months out - this was disheartening, stressful and frustrating. With the difficulty getting into a specialty vet, our vet recommended we head over to the emergency vet that same day, they would call the emergency vet and send over her file with x-rays. So that is what we did. The emergency vet was wonderful. They were also surprised to see what was on the x-ray, like everyone else. Her tumour is large for a dog her size and age (only 4.5 yrs old). Unclear of how long this tumour has been growing, if it has spread - which it appears to have on the x-ray, and uncertain if biopsying the tumour was even an option due to size, our options are hard options right now. She is happy, playful, wags her tail and is excited to see you, not showing any signs of pain or discomfort, she eats what and when she wants to eat. We are enjoying each and every day with her right now. Pets Best handled all of our claims as quickly as they could, they were coming in fast. Pets Best team was probably wondering what was going on and needing to get more information from both vet offices - as we didn't have a specific diagnosis. Some out of pocket expense went towards the deductible but I am pleasantly surprised to see how much we are receiving back. Pets Best insurance has been wonderful. Thank you.
