COMPANY FEELS LIKE THEY'RE SCAMMING YOU.

Awful customer service. They deny your claim. Then you call and they go 'oh that was just an automated denial' It's like no human actually reads your claims. It's just scanned. So if you have them you HAVE to call them. Meanwhile my other dog insured by another company sends us a check immediately.

Healthy Pet - Happy Life

We had another pet insurance company that was horrible. So happy we changed to Pets Best. The claim process is very easy and the response time is swift. I Love this company.

Slow and often unwilling to process claims. Difficult to get help

I recently switched from another insurer. I have found pets best to be very slow and unwilling to process claims. They will close out your claim and not pay it if they do not receive the medical records. It is very difficult to get someone on the phone to help. Other pet insurers will not insist on so much documentation to process claims and are easier to reach by phone and email. Look else where, this is not a well run insurance.
