Like all insurance, they'll dodge payment when they can :/

They extrapolated my 3 mo. old puppy's potty training / crate anxiety to include noise phobia 6 months later for the 4th of July. Causes of stress are different and being a puppy learning to potty train in a crate is different from adult separation anxiety or firework noise phobia. Since I work at my vet clinic, I wrote mentions of his struggle learning crating & those were counted as 'veterinary observance' although they were just owner's personal concerns with a puppy overcoming crate training - my vets never discussed/diagnosed the behavior as such. I submitted an appeal, but I am annoyed I chose this insurance over others, because they got better reviews than others about whom I've heard claim-denial-complaints and some I've heard cost complaints about...

Because it was a traumatic experience what happened to my dog, it was nice that the financial burden was eased and I didn't have to argue or debate any costs. I carried the pet insurance for this reason and you came through. Thank you

My Doggie Unfortunately Got A Uti...

My doggie unfortunately got a UTI. It was over Labor Day Weekend and she had to go to the ER instead of her regular vet. I submitted my claim from the Emergency Room visit with Pet's Best and was refunded within a week! I was in shock! Very thankful for Pet's Best! My Mom goes through another pet insurance company for her dog and their reimbursement time takes 2 months. I would highly recommend Pet's Best to anyone thinking of wanting to get insurance for their furry loved ones!
