I am starting to think the wellness…

I am starting to think the wellness part of my policy is not worth it. It's $480 a year amd I only get $350 max back on reimbursement. I spent $ 290 last Vet visit amd received $25 back on a 90% reimbursement. About to drop this next month. I'll keep thd accident and sickness probally, but dropping the wellness. Plus l, it took 5 weeks to get my money back

Usually they have been great to work with speedy reimbursement for visits. But now things are taking longer and now up to 42 business days for a claim? It’s frustrating to see that.

Grateful for Pets Best being there when I needed them.

I cannot say enough good things about these people. My sweet boy, who has never had any real issues had an emergency surgery in February (a successful splenectomy). Then this month, we took him to the vet because he didn't seem to be feeling well, and after discovering lesions on his liver, we had to say goodbye to him three days later. This was the most difficult thing I've ever done, but having insurance gave us the peace of mind to have blood work done, an ultrasound done, a surgical consult, pain meds, and finally, Caring Pathways to come to our home so our Bodie could be comfortable and in familiar surroundings. Pet's Best covered what my policy said they would. We knew with the insurance that we could afford to get the information we needed to make the best decisions for our sweet boy. They handled it all quickly, and with compassion. I am so grateful.

Pets Best continues to excel. Our older boy suffers from a variety of conditions, and his recent doctors' visits, including an urgent care visit, were submitted, processed quickly and paid out according to the terms of the plan.
