Petsbest rejected $650 claims because they considered cats' vomiting as pre-exiting condition

I am very disappointed with the Petsbest insurance and believe this is a scam. ALL cats vomit once in a while, which is normal behavior. My cat vomited 3 times in the morning, so we were worried and sent her to the vet and got $650 bills. My vet wrote "Patient vomit once in a while " on the medical record, hence Petsbest insurance determined this incident as a pre-existing condition and rejected the claims. Walk away with Petsbest insurance.

Pets Best is an Outstanding company

Pets Best has been incredible. They made the claim process so easy. All we had to do was upload the bill. Pets Best communicated with the vet and got all the medical records. They kept me apprised of the status of my claim with frequent emails. The contract we signed with them was easy to understand and they stood by everything they'd promised to deliver. It was an incredible experience and I highly recommend them.

excellent company

This company is true to its' word. After my deductible, they have paid 90% of my young dog's oncology and vet bills. I would never have been able to afford this treatment. They answer all calls promptly and with a satisfying answer. Claims process is easy and reimbursement is quick! I HIGHLY recommend them

Pets Best is Truly the Best!

Super easy from the start to my first claim being processed. They have a great online App that I loaded onto my phone that allowed me to see any updates on my claim, policy information, and much more. When I filed my first claim, I received an email right away telling me it was in review. Then I received another when they reached out to my vet for my pup's records, and finally when my claim was accepted and processed. All in all, it took about 6 weeks. I assume it took a bit longer since it was my first claim, so I imagine the next one will be even quicker. What a piece of mind to know my fur baby is in good hands. I will definitely recommend Pets Best to anyone with a fur baby of their own.

Amazing care!

When working with insurance is can always be stressful especially with a sick pup. Pets best made the claim process to easy. Once my claim was approved i was paid directly into my bank about within 5 days. the whole process took no longer than a month. I can not express how stress less the process was. I highly recommend using pets best!
