Pets Best Insurance Preexisting Denial

We bought Pets Best insurance for our 4 month old GSD puppy the day we adopted him. He developed intermittent lameness around a year old. U of I veterinarians examined him and he has CCL tear and we have him scheduled for surgery in January 2025. Pets Best denied the claim as PREEXISTING. We are still working with them to get their denial changed along with the help of the veterinarians. They have been reported to the BBB for falsely denying claims by many customers.

Olive....lives on

"Olive is my first dog that I've purchased a pet insurance policy on. She was approximately 6 months old when we signed up with Pets Best. Little did I know that my baby would utilize that policy for approximately 3 major surgeries and some specialty appointments down the road. My baby is now 4 years old and I am so thankful she is still with me and of that decision made to purchase this pet insurance policy. My experience with Pets Best has always been terrific, from uploading claims on their website to easy comprehension of the finished claim process notification. In closing, I am so thankful for this policy because it allowed me to avoid the most difficult and painful decision that pet owners have to face when their beloved pet is in an emergency situation."
