Duke 3 Yr Old Shih Tzu

"We have a 3yr old shih tzu who had digestive/gastrointestinal problems, dehydration, and pneumonia. We intially took him to Thrive Pet Emergency but he was transferred to Blue Pearl Animal Hospital, San Antonio in Crital Care Condition. We paid for his care and filed a claim with Pet's Best Insurance. The claim process was very simple. Duke's Claim was processed in a timely manner. Thank you Pet's Best. I have recommended your insurance to every pet owner I come in contact with.👌 "

VETERINARIAN: Animal Emergency & Specialty Center

Double Surgeries

My dog started limping and took him in and it was determined after several vet and specialty vet visits, that he need surgery for a torn ACL. Pets Best processed the claim with no questions, just an itemized invoice. 2 months later, he started limping on his other leg. Yes, another torn ACL. I was worried that the insurance would not cover another claim even though it was on a different leg. But the claims process was just as easy. These are the biggest bills I've had with this dog and I'm SO glad I had insurance for peace of mind that I didn't have to worry about the costs, just the care.

Caring

I had (sadly passed recently) an 11 / 12 year old Chihuahua who had cancer. Pets Best helped me with the claims process. They did all things & sent a Sympathy card after learning my pet passed. I truly recommend this company. Just ensure to get the coverage you feel meets what you can afford. Pets Best will do the rest!

Awesome company to work with

I’ve had a wonderful experience with this company. It pays for everything it says it will and even things I wasn’t expecting. It’s fast and easy.

80% coverage and only 60% covered. Disgustingly Misleading

Rather than covering 80% of the entire vet bill like the wording of my contract heavily implies, the company decided to pay 80% of each individual piece of my dogs surgery. Leading to only a little over half of the entire bill being being covered which is absolutely disgusting and misleading. Additionally it took over a month to process my claim with no explanation when I had everything submitted immediately after the surgery. I’m extremely unhappy with this insurance company.
