Long claim time, poor communication

So far not too impressed after switching from Figo. It took over two weeks to have any communication regarding a submitted claim and nearly three weeks for the claim to be processed. I have the top tier wellness package and they didn't cover the vaccines, which are clearly covered with the package. I emailed to ask why and only have received an email back asking me to leave a review, rather than answer my question. Not a good look.

Buyer Beware - they will charge you coinsurance on meeting your deductible

Coinsurance is the claim amount an insured must pay after meeting deductibles. This company applies your coinsurance to meeting your deductible. Haven't provided me with any detail as to where this calculation is explained in my policy. Wouldn't recommend.

Save the Day

I have had several pets over the years that have been insured by Pets Best. They always have been fair in their financial decisions. I have had several animals with cancer and serious illnesses and Pets Best has always been there for me, even now with my present animals. I trust their decisions and would recommend them to other pet owners, which I have already done in the past. Do your investigations but in the end you will find Pets Best is the BEST.

Submitting the claim was very easy

Submitting the claim was very easy. The turnaround and communication was very quick. I like the 24/7 help. The website is easy to maneuver. I have had a very good experience with PetsBest Insurance for my Pomeranian. I will continue using PetsBest.

Thankful to have this pet insurance

You never think and hope you don't need pet insurance for anything outrageous. Money should never be the reason to do or not to do something for your pet. But it helps to know that the reimbursement coming will cover a good portion of the higher bills. Our dog had the unfortunate experience of a life threatening incident and has since needed more help. With Pets Best, we have been able to give our pet the care and therapy needed. I will never own a pet without insurance again. I have recommended Pets Best to many people. They are efficient and fairly quick on reimbursing. Very happy with them!
