Relief during a difficult time
A couple years ago one of my dogs became very sick. She spent multiple nights in hospital, having tests done and medications administered, while we tried to figure out why she was so sick. Through the process we discovered that she had very advanced lymphoma and an inoperable tumor that was causing lots of pain and sickness. We had to make the difficult decision to put her to sleep. Knowing I had Pets Best Insurance made the process so much smoother. Knowing I wasn't going to be out thousands of dollars, and in debit, on top of already loosing my first puppy I had raised for 6yrs was definitely a relief during that difficult time.

Happy Customer
"This is our first time having pet insurance and after doing some comparison shopping and speaking with other pet owners, we chose PetsBest, and are glad we did.
We elected both wellness and illness policies, and have made claims under both of them. All claims have been processed promptly, with good communication keeping us apprised of the status. The claim submission process is simple, straightforward, and takes just minutes.
Bottom line - this has been a very good experience for us and we highly recommend PetsBest to others. "

Fine for accidents, significant unnecessary exclusions
I've been using Pets Best for years. Their premiums aren't terrible for insurance as I understand it, but they have major exclusions in coverage. The worst is related to periodontal disease. They won't cover anything unless your animal's teeth were cleaned within the last 13 months. Given that a dental cleaning has to be performed under anesthesia, this is a minimum of $300 - $1000 for each cleaning and has never been supported as necessary in a very I've visited unless there is evidence to support it. So to deny covering the anesthesia for a tooth extraction and the extractions themselves that became necessary out of nowhere with no prior history is absurd. They have also claimed in the past that one of my cats had a pre-existing condition so they wouldn't cover the bills (it was not a pre-existing condition). I'm not sure what insurance has less exclusions though.

Amazed with the efficiency
I am very surprised with the transparency, the efficiency and the communication of Pets Best. This is my first time having a pet insurance and I was not expecting this level of service. I get notification with every process of my claim plus it is extremely easy to file a claim and if you are missing a document, they sent a notification right away explaining with a great detail, what is missing for your claim to be processed.
I am extremely happy!
