Not happy with Wellness Plan

I am not happy with the coverage of the Wellness plan. I have had Pets Best Insurance for the fifth year now. The insurance cost have been going up every year which I understand but the wellness plan's benefit coverage had stayed same at $305 since 2021. Due to inflation, the costs of annual check, flea/tick prevention, vaccines, blood exam, etc. have all gone up. I called customer service a few times asking for corporate to review this but had not seen any wellness benefit coverage improvement. Please review and adjust the coverage. Thank you.

Reliable and Compassionate Pet Insurance

We’re so thankful for the support Pets Best gave us during our dog Coco’s medical journey. It was a tough time, but their team was always quick, kind, and easy to work with when it came to processing our claims. The whole process, from reviewing claims to getting reimbursed, was smooth and gave us peace of mind when we needed it most.

IT WORKS!

Pup was seized in the middle of the night with excruciating pain. I rushed her to emergency vet and they evaluated, x-rayed and medicated by little fuzzy companion. The x-rays weren't cheap but when I submitted the claim, Pets Best paid it in record time. It's good to know that you get what you paid for with this pet insurance company.

Fast and efficient refund!

"My kitty had a seizure at the vet's office and they sent me to an emergency hospital since they had given her a med for the seizure and she needed monitoring (and they were closing early) they asked me if I wanted to do imaging to get to the bottom of it and I said yes and they reffered me to a neurologist and they did all sorts of testing and imaging and I maxed out my credit card to pay for it but I had trust on petsbest because you guys always come thru and cover whatever it is. My refund/rebate was processed quickly and I was able to pay it back before the due date of my credit card. So I'm thankful to you guys a lot!! I'm gonna be a customer forever! "
