Started out rocky, but overall I’m impressed

The insurance company is great! My dog was in critical condition and the company stepped in when I was at my lowest

I absolutely love Pets Best

I absolutely love Pets Best. The customer service is amazing, the coverage is better than my own health care. I’ve filed a few claims since my busy puppy gets into everything and each time they’ve been processed and explained clearly and quickly. It couldn’t be easier to file a claim! I’ve utilized the 24/7 chat feature - they were out of this world. I received several follow up communications to make sure my dog was ok when the vet prescribed something she wasn’t old enough to take. I tell all my friend with pets about Pets Best - even my friends who don’t too. That’s how happy I am with the service!!!

Excellent feedback and communication with a caring company

Filed my first claim. The process was very easy, good feedback on the process of the claim, clear statement as to how everything was applied and speedy processing. Better than my personal health insurance. Process to sign up was very efficient.

Would not cover French Bulldog George's surgery.

They would not cover back surgery for my French Bulldog, because he had neck spasms 4 months prior to the incident. Even after his surgeon that did his back surgery, and the vet that treated him for the neck spasms sent in documentation that said the neck issue had nothing to do with the back issue. What else can a person do when they say no, they won't cover the expense? Looking into legal action?
