Cancelling our policy

Our vet called us, recommended nape widening because our French Bulldog’s airflow was restricted. According to Pet’s Best this was cosmetic surgery?! They denied the claim.

Pet's Best Pet Health Insurance was the …

Pet's Best Pet Health Insurance was the best choice I've ever made in reference to my pets. I have 4 dogs, and 1 of them became allergic to just about everything grass related after about 8 years of running out in the different woods up here in the Northwest and Pet's Best has been a life saver in more ways than I can count. Not only is she allergic to all sorts of stuff, but she has had UTI's, Kidney & Liver issues for the past 4 years, and oh by the way, just recently had an episode of Idiopathic (Geriatric) Vestibular Syndrome, which reminds me of Jackie Chan in "Drunken Master", because she moves like she is drunk, her head now tilts to the left and her balance is not all there. Pet's Best is so compassionate, caring, and professional in all of their actions and mannerism in helping me out, whether by phone or on-line chat when I'm filling out claim forms or asking questions about my policy on my dogs.

Good, but petty deductible rule

Good experience, but deceiving the customer is a poison pill. Although only a difference of $25 for me, their $250 deductible is actually $275 because they take out 10% for "co-pays" even though you pay the full amount until deductible is paid...really petty of them and not how most insurance works.
