Disappointed

My dog was diagnosed with Pannis (an eye condition caused by ultraviolet rays) My claim was denied, based on Pets Best concluding this was a pre-existing condition, they had no proof bringing them to this conclusion and she had never been seen for this condition. Very disappointed, this is a chronic condition and my feeling is they knew they would have to continue paying for medications, so they made the decision to deny the claim. I termed my insurance as of 7/19/16 and have yet to receive my premium refund.

It's the best thing to do for your pets.

My Charlie is my life. My children got her for me with in. A week of my husband was buried. I don't miss a appointment.She is my life and I know she love me. We sleep together and we do everything together.if she can't go I don't go. Or I put her in doggie daycare at her vet's.So I know she gets the best care.

So glad we found this insurance!

My dog Audrey has had a year of illnesses some of which I never received a definite diagnosis. Had to get a second opinion from a holistic Vet and a NutriScan - Pet Sensitivity & Intolerance Test. All of this became very expensive and would have not been possible without this insurance. Best Pets does have limitations on holistic care and does not cover holistic medicines. Audrey is doing better with a variety of treatments. I really want her healthy again, and thanks to Pets Best we are working on getting there!

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!
