So Impressed and Thankful!
I insured my Pomeranian Mocha was she was just 3 months old. Being 3 pounds I knew something was bound to happen , and it did. She took a leap of faith and broke her tibia and fibula. Pets Best paid for 80 percent of the 3,700.62 in total vet bills for surgery. When other people would know where to turn to help save their pet, I turned to Pets Best. She is now happy and healthy and I am ever so thankful for this company!

Nothing but a scam
Even though most of the services and vet visits I filed claims for were covered under my plan, I was continually denied, or would get much less reimbursement than I should have. Monthly payments increased with little to no return.

Bait and Switch
Pets Best first of all will find every reason to deny your claim. The hassle of appealing just to try to get them to pay out claims is unfathomable. Once you begin coverage with this insurer they then switch your coverage to another underwriters which makes your premium go up because of your senior pet. If you have senior pets beware! Pets Best will switch underwriters on you claiming it is due to increase/rising costs for veterinary care which is not true in our area. They will find every reason to deny your claim and you will have to fight to try to get something covered by Pets Best

Awful customer service and claim service
This is an awful insurance policy. They do NOT cover claims. I submitted something after the standard 14 day waiting period and it was flatly declined as they decided that my pet had this condition in the past. This is despite their research into the history of my pet. Very disappointed in their treatment, service and the manner in which they process claims. You will never get money from this company. Don't buy it.
