Quickest Claims Process
I have had Pets Beat insurance for both my dog and cat since we adopted them as babies. We’re going on 5 and 3 years respectively for both of them. I’ve had all my claims processed so quickly and efficiently with every claim I’ve made- surgeries, ER visits, and other illnesses. They are really the best in pet insurance!

Quick Results
Pets Best came through for us. Submitting the incident claim was easy and user friendly. I was surprised how quickly they responded to the claim and reimbursed us since the accident happened on a weekend.

Huge Premium Increase
Beware! The application process is easy and the claim filing process is easy. For the first 2 years the policy premiums were reasonable. But I just got my renewal for the upcoming year. Shockingly, my annual premium increased 55%!
When I called to inquire, the representative was very nice BUT couldn't really give me a reason for such a huge increase. She said it was based on my zip code, my dog breed and she stated that the cost of claims were increasing. This puzzled me as they knew my zip code and dog breed when they issued the policy. Additionally, my deductible is $500 and I barely met that this year.
When I inquired further she said that some zip codes only had their premiums increase by under 20%. What the heck??
When I asked for historical information as to what past premium increases had been, she couldn't answer the question. Now that's rich. A 55% premium increase. That truly makes the policy almost unsustainable.
I feel duped by getting a policy with them! i feel like I was lured in and that they knew all along they were going to push a HUGE premium increase on me at a later date. My only advise to potential customers is BEWARE!! I encourage potential customers to shop around....
