We are evaluating policies for a dog…

We are evaluating policies for a dog and Pets Best is half as much as the other Company we are considering. We had questions that could not be answered through their website or sample policy (e.g., what is a “participating Veterinarian” to be used to decrease the waiting period after initial enrollment) , so I tried contacting them via chat, but the system was overloaded and they directed you to the website or to call. I called them, noting that they don’t make their number easy to find on the website and the phone tree hurdles you need to clear to get someone are quite the gauntlet; that alone took 2 minutes 14 seconds. I was on hold for 20 minutes with no end in sight and decided that if it’s this difficult to reach them then we don’t want to do business with them.

Happy Customer

"Submitting the claim was simple. The payment was made in a timely manner. The amount paid was exactly what it was supposed to be so no having to debate the payment. The EOB was very easy to understand. I am extremely pleased! "

Our dog will eat ANYTHING!

"Our 2 1/2 year old Pit Mix is a wonderful dog and a blessing in our lives. However, she is always looking for something to eat....ANYTHING. She swallowed a tennis ball and required stomach surgery. There weeks after the incident, I had received my check for the insurance amount due to the penny. No hassles or stalls, just the check. Purchasing Pet's Best is the smartest decision I have ever make. Mike"
