Very bad

My 5 year old staffy was dying of lymphoma, I put in a claim for all the test he needed, it took them a month to stop asking me for the same documents over and over, then my dog died, they denied my claim saying i didnt have that coverage, when I promise you, I did have it

Blessing's Knee Surgery

When I initially chose to enroll with Pets Best, I was uncertain about the extent to which the policy would cover a significant claim. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. My dog, Blessing, required an extensive and costly knee surgery. Despite the high expense, the procedure was necessary, so I decided to put the insurance to the test. To my relief, the claim process was smooth and efficient, and I was reimbursed for nearly the full amount, minus the applicable deductible and co-insurance. I encountered no issues throughout the process and found Pets Best to be reliable and responsive in a time of need.

Best insurance for senior furbabies!

My household loves to adopt senior animals, but getting them health insurance can often be costly. PetsBest seems to be the one pet health insurance company that doesn't make health care coverage expensive due to the age of the furbaby. Filing claims is fairly straightforward, and they are pretty generous with how much they cover. Thanks to PetsBest, we can continue to spoil furbabies during their golden years without breaking the bank.

You can cover actual conditions

You can cover actual conditions. My dog was diagnosed with airway issues that needed boas surgery 2 years after the start of the policy and was never noted any earlier and you denied coverage based on preexisting condition. She was never diagnosed before with this issue

Pets Best is simply the best

My friends who are pet parents were right about choosing Pets Best when my husband and I rescued two kittens in May 2023. One of our cats (now 2 years old) needed FHO (femoral head ostectomy) due to a fractured right leg and started walking with a limp. I called customer service and gave my policy number. He advised that I submit the receipt and paperwork the veterinary office gave me. Claim was submitted and I was reimbursed accordingly.
