Thankful for PetsBest

I lost my English bulldog a few months ago and it was the hardest day of my life. I am still paying off the night I lost her. I got a new bulldog and have this one covered. Her vet visits and emergencies are covered and it's peace of mind. 5)3 full reimbursements are always on time. It feels great to be covered, not paying a million dollars, I get money back and all the customer service agents have been so helpful.

Not a good company to use for pet care.

Your company did NOT reimburse us for anything for our pet. We filed a claim for routine preventive health ( heartworm meds, flea and tick meds, ect.) You also denied our claim for ear infection, and allergy meds. You did not pay for yearly fecal testing, blood work or routine doctor visits. We take care of our pet as if he was our human child. When he is acting unusual we take him to the doctor to make sure he is healthy and not in any kind of pain. You would do this for a child and to us he is our child.

Pets Best really is the best

Pets Best has good plans at a reasonable price. The resources online and the website are clear and easily navigated. Customer service is top notch - I always get a prompt and friendly answer to any question I may have. Their claim process is extremely easy and they definitely make it super simple to utilize your benefits. I highly recommend them!

I continue to be wowed!

This isn't my first review of Pet's Best, but I am so very pleased with their continued customer service and caring ways. I've had my policy since 2011 and only just recently needed it for a dog with a chronic, sometimes very fatal illness. Every single claim is uploaded with veterinary discharge instructions and explanation via their easy to use online portal and every single one has been paid without question or delay (now totaling over $6800). Any questions I have along the way are answered with one phone call placed to their 800# and are always quickly answered and fielded by a courteous, knowledgeable and compassionate agent on the other end of the line. The coverages are fair and their site is easy to use and navigate. I'll always be a loyal customer and I continue to rave about Pet's Best to anyone who will listen!!
