They used to be fantastic, now theyre trash

They used to be fantastic. They've covered thousands of my pets bills in the past. Now they're absolute trash. They used to cover huge vet bills without hesitation, now they've been giving me the runaround about a $240 vet bill and then said it was a "preexisting condition" which is wasnt. They say I can appeal, but it'll take atleast 3 months and I would have to do a mountain of paperwork. You're much better off putting the money you would spend on insurance in a bank account.

Great coverage

Our dog ate grapes, and the urgent care vet recommended hospitalization for 48 hours to monitor kidney function after inducing vomiting. Pets Best was great about paying out our claim appropriately, funds were received directly to my bank account without issue.

Comprehensive & dependable coverage

I have insured my pets with Pets Best for several years. Their comprehensive coverage gives me comfort that I am always able to provide the best possible care for my pets, without making cost a part of that decision. They have supported my cat through a cancer diagnosis, my greyhound through chronic urinary tract issues, and my oldest greyhound with GOLPP. At every step, Pets Best could be counted on to provide coverage and I could rest knowing that once my deductible and out of pocket was covered, they would cover the balance. In addition to covering exam costs, lab test, diagnostic testing and of course treatment, the actual cost of their policy is also reasonable for the broad coverage they provide. Thank you Pets Best!
