I was a member for years. My one claim for surgery was turned down. Having me pay into a system for years that then turns down my claims is a scam.

Good Experience

have had Pets Best pet insurance for 2 years now and they have paid almost all claims submitted to them. And the way I can do it right online is easy. I do not have the plan that includes wellness because I can't afford it living on one income. So they didn't cover my dog's dental. But all the other claims they covered. The price does go up annually because pets get older with possible more problems. But I still recommend them for your furry family. "

Pet Insurance Policy

My dogs is developing arthritis in his front joints and requires frequent injections in order to treat the symptoms. The injections are expensive but are covered under our insurance policy. Currently the costs are applied towards our deductible but once the deductible has been met we receive reimbursement for most of the costs. Getting our pet insurance several years ago with Pets Bests was a very smart decision on part. The policy has been a great help towards reducing surgery and treatment related expenses.
