A VERY SATISFIED CLIENT

I am so glad that I got Pets Best Health Insurance for Missy. It sure took the sting out of having to pay the entire cost for her veterinary service when she fell ill recently. I submitted the claim and Pets Best processed it in a jiffy. I highly recommend Pets Best to all pet owners.

Worthless

We took our dog to ER for ear infections and it turned out that was allergies which he had allergies history before so they won’t covered any part of medical bill..I called them and was disappointed about it. The lady said it is not their fault, if I have problems, I should call the vet and question them about it...What kind a service is that?

Horrible experience

They didn't cover a single claim that we submitted and often denied under the pretext of a "preexisting condition", even though none of the claims were related to any such condition. I would highly recommend going elsewhere for your pet's coverage needs.

Exceptionally compassionate service and hassle-free reimbursement

I have a cancer-only policy for my greyhounds. Two of them were diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) within a 2 month period. Pets Best was exceptionally helpful, kind, compassionate and efficient. They helped me through a process that I imagined would be difficult - it was actually very straightforward to submit my claim.. I was grieving the loss of my two boys and they made the process of reimbursement very hassle-free. I also felt that they were extremely considerate and caring. They genuinely wanted to help me . Very impressed and pleased, and I've added coverage for our 2 new greyhounds.
