Pets Best | Pet Insurance Review

"Overall we were very happy with our experience with PetsBest. The website was easy to use, it was easy to make claims, customer service was helpful, and we received our reimbursements in a timely manner. However, we were very unhappy when a critical prescribed medication(herb) was not covered. Our dog was having SEVERE, possibly life threatening nose bleeds because of his cancer. The medication prescribed was Yunnan Baiyo. I understand that that medication is an herb, and technically 'herbs and supplements' are not covered under our policy. We were denied several times for that medication. I twice appealed that decision, with no success. I feel that consideration should have been given to the fact that this medication was not being prescribed as a supplement or as a holistic herb. It was a CRITICAL medication given to PREVENT and STOP our dog's heavy and excessive bleeding from his nose. Our vet told us that had he not had this medication he could have lost so much blood that it would have been life threatening. I hope that in the future you can take into account the cause and critical use for certain 'herbs', such as Yunnan Baiyo. Please add Yunnan Baiyo to your list of covered medications, or herbs. "

My dog had a Cruciate Ligament issue. They said the insurance wouldn't cover it because it happened within the first 6 months of the policy. Fine, I understand. HOWEVER... she has not had the Cruciate Ligament issue for more than a year. They keep denying claims because they are trying to tie it back to the Cruciate Ligament issue. 2 Doctors signed a letter that said she NO LONGER has the Cruciate Ligament issue. What she has now is something entirely different! They keep denying the claims. As well, if you do Platelet Rich Plasma injections, they consider those Holistic medicine. I called them before I did the injections and the guy I spoke to said they were covered. They are not! You have to read the fine print with these people.

Every claim wether injury or otherwise was denied I’ve paid thousands of dollars over years and they reimbursed 228.00

We could not imagine having our two cats without Pets Best insurance. It’s so easy to file a claim, the options for premiums are fantastic, and we get payment from them so quickly, usually within a couple days!!

I wrote this after my best friend, opie, died, to the insurance agency and thought i'd share here "Hi there - I've been meaning to connect with you and just share my experience and appreciation with you. I've been with Pets best for 5 years, and the care we received it truly remarkable. I'm used to always fighting with insurance companies about the fine print but everything was beyond seamless with you. Most importantly, and recently, our 5 year old dog, Opie, got acute lukemia and within a week, passed away. It was sudden, and excruciatingly heartbreaking. I was worried that you wouldn't cover is endless hospital visits that week, or the possible chemo care but I just got "yes, we'll take care of it" responses for you. I never had to choose between care for opie and finances. What a blessing. And in this world, what a rarity. Thank you from the bottom of our families hearts for your compassion, and overall generosity while making our lives easier in the worst times of our lives. Thats it. x"
