Very Happy with my insurance

It has been a long journey trying all the meds for Inca. But none worked so we are left with having to do the radiation. We are doing labs on Monday and treatment will follow the next week if the labs are good. From the beginning and each step Pets Best has been great with support concern and quick processing of our claims. I am so greatful I made this choice years ago. Thank you Pets Best for your compassion, and kindness and quick processing of our claim. BTW I told my friends about Pets Best as my choice before I had this experience So glad I did. Thank you again. Ann E, Colorado

I have been with Pets Best for almost 5 years and each year I am happy with my decision to work with them. They are transparent, they are communicative, and what you see is what you get.

Pets Best: Smart, simple, economical pet insurance

I knew having pet insurance was the smart thing to do for my rescue spaniel mix. After doing some research, I chose Pets Best for their variety of options and competitive pricing. Easy to select the plan I wanted. It was a plus that they integrated with my Care Credit account, which I use at my vet all the time. When I submitted my first claim, I thought it would take a couple of weeks. My dog saw the vet on Tuesday for a wellness exam and Rx refill, I submitted the claim later that day, and my reimbursement was applied to my Care Credit account on Friday! No confusion, no hassle, so simple and seamless! Great service, highly recommended.

Great Insurance Company To Work With

Pets Best has been Great for us. We have two dogs covered with them, have filed claims on both, and never an issue. I go into my account, file a claim, I'm notified that they processing, a couple days later I'm notified that it was approved, and a couple days later the money is in my bank account. I'm so glad we picked Pets Best from all the insurance options, so easy to work with.

Terrible company!

Thy don't reimburse according to their policy and when they send you a check, you have no idea how they got the measly amount they came up with. There is no explanation and the person answering the phone has no knowledge about any aspect of a policy and cannot answer any questions. I don't want this to happen to anyone else.

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill. Reimbursements are sent directly to CareCredit credit card when chosen as your default reimbursement method.
