VETERINARIAN: Vet Med of Corinth

Do not recommend

Purchased their most expensive coverage after the vet told me I could use this company to get reimbursement for the money spent on my dog’s care. He is a rescue and didn’t have any allergy issues when we first got him. When they developed we got him insurance and then took him to the vet. Filed a claim and was denied because they determined it was a preexisting condition. Which it was not. So I wasted $60 on coverage for NOTHING. terrible customer service. absolutely zero coverage. Literally just a scam.

Pets Best is a nightmare

Pets Best is a nightmare. It's taken over 40 days to have 1 vet visit "reviewed". The repeated requests for a full year of records for a dog just adopted from the shelter is absurd. Submitting LA County Animal Care records to be told they're "invalid". If it wasn't so time consuming and irritating, the ignorance would be hilarious.

Quick reimbursement

Pets Best handled my claim within a week which is much quicker than I expected. I wish I never had to use my insurance but I’ve had to use it for both dogs now and I am so thankful to have this insurance. When emergencies happen it gives peace of mind to know some of the bill will be covered. The claim process has always been very simple. If only human insurance could be as seamless.

The best for peace of mind and total coverage

For the past 2.5 years Pets Best has taken care of all of Bitty (Lady Beatrice) medical needs and surgeries. They have never denied a covered Procedure, Medication, Tests and any Lab work that she needed. Every year I expected a super high rate increase, but to my surprise were just small normal increases due to rising costs of the services being given. A very good investment to help taking care of your furbaby. I have and do highly recommend Pets Best Insurance for great coverage, customer service and peace of mind knowing your buddy is taken care of.

Excellent Company

I have had multiple claims for my new puppy over the past year related to parasites and worms which he got from the wildlife in my yard! This company processed all his illness related invoices within days of receipt reimbursing me promptly. Couldn't be more pleased.
