Simple fast and easy!!!!

We recently got a puppy and was unsure which insurance company to pick. A family member of mine told me all about Pets Best insurance and how simple and easy it is. They were right!!! We got the plan that covers everything because i wanted what was best for my new puppy. First trip to the vet was a success i filed my claim right on my phone and within a day i was emailed back and reimbursed that week!!! So fast and easy! Highly recommend!

Bladders stones not covered for my dog

Yeah my dog has bladder stones and they won’t cover it because she had them like 2 years ago. They are calling it a chronic disease. She doesn’t need surgery or anything so not very serious condition and they fixing with a diet. They won’t reimburse me for one emergency room visit and a follow up appointment at our regular vet to tell us she needs Hills S/D dog food. Pretty simple fix and not much on the reimbursement. Very disappointed and should have never left 24 hour pet watch. Ugh!!! I’m so stupid thinking I could save a buck smh! Cancelling and going back to 24 hour pet watch :)

My first claim was paid

We just got pet insurance for the first time last year. Our cat recently had a puncture wound under his chin and we had multiple visits to the vet. Just submitted the claims three days ago and upon receipt of an email from Pets Best, expected they would’ve found a reason to deny the claim. Instead after the deductible and other appropriate exclusions, the claim was approved. I am pleasantly surprised and appreciative.
