Pets Best Worst Dog Insurance Company

I was a customer for PETS BEST Insurance for 8 years, paying a monthly fee of 98 dollars, every year we had one or two small claims and it took them up to two months to reimburse me. Well my dog turn 8 years old and I received a letter informing that the new dues had increased 200%, from 98 dollars to 305 dollars! The reason was Doctors fees and inflation! If that is not obscene I don't know what is! They force you to cancel your policy because your dog is gettin old and they don't want to cover it!, it is not profitable! I spent 9,408 dollars in 8 years with minimum claims, my dog is in great shape, but because his age and breed is not longer viable for them, they decided to increase the monthly fee to an unreasonable amount. Don't hire this company, find out another company that is not going to dump you because your dog is getting old! Shame on them!
