This insurance carrier is practically worthless.

Very unhappy, this insurance carrier is practically worthless. They pay almost nothing.

I am so glad I have Pets Best Pet Health insurance. The website is super easy to navigate and the payments / reimbursements are always timely. I could not live without it, my dog is now 15 and is having some issues and I never get disappointed with Pets Best! Christiane Govan

This is a must especially for large dogs. The representatives are very upfront about what is covered and what isn’t. I don’t feel like they are trying to hide something from me or take advantage of me. Everything you need to know is listed for you to easily understand. I haven’t noticed hidden verbiage. I just got received an email stating that I will get $1,100 reimbursement on my pets emergency vet visit, I am going to end up only paying just over $100 out of pocket. I was very nervous to open the EOB when it was sent to me as I feared it would be too good to be true to have them pay and I would somehow be declined due to some hidden disclosures of something. I was beyond relieved, excited and now feel very secure after I saw I was reimbursed the amount that I expected despite my doubts. We all know how insurance companies are for humans so it’s only natural to feel that way!
