Lenny's bladder stones

When we purchased Pets Best insurance for our adopted dog, Lenny, we hope we wouldn't have to use it for anything other than routine care. When he was diagnosed with bladder stones, the x-rays and surgery proved quite costly. Thankfully, Pet's Best system made it easy to file claims and they paid promptly. Glad we did it!

Better to not have insurance

They hide everything in the fine print. Their accident and illness plan doesn’t cover the emergency exam portion of your emergency visit which is often half of the price of taking your pet to an emergency vet. They also only pay $150 towards spay/neuter and won’t cover anything that is labeled as pre-op such as medications or the pre-op visit, even though they advertise covering spay/neuter. We paid $71/month for 9 months with a new puppy (lots of exams, vaccines, office visits, neuter, and emergency visits) and got reimbursed a whopping $200 total in that time because nothing is covered or even counts toward your deductible. It makes more sense to not have this insurance.

We had a very sick dog for 8 years

We had a very sick dog for 8 years. PetsBest was a blessing to work with. Customer service was always polite and helpful. They were very goid to pay claims quickly and when they were busy they would always send an email apology for taking a bit longer than usual. When our dog crossed over the Rainbow Bridge they not only paid the claim quickly but also canceled our insurance. I so appreciated that as I was dreading to make that call. Thank you PetsBest for being thete with us every step of the way. She could have never gotten the level of care we were able to give her if it were not for PetsBest.

10/10 recommend

I am very thankful for Pets Best. They are so quick with receiving claims and I have had no issues with getting things claimed. Very fast and easy process. My dog had an unexpected mass on his leg this year, which required multiple biopsies and a MRI to diagnose. I was thankful Pets Best was so quick with their turn around time to help with the financial burden.
