Glad I chose Pets Best

Glad I chose Pets Best. The claim process is easy, payments are relatively prompt, and the service to talk with a vet or vet tech is extremely helpful. I had one situation where I questioned their refusing a claim and after further info from my vet the claim was paid. Great company! I strongly recommend.

Pet's Worst.

This is the worst pet insurance company I've ever worked with. It takes them literal MONTHS to process simple claims, and they deny every single one of them. I paid so much for insurance and never did get reimbursed for even one cent. Ever. Their rates are cheaper than some of the others, but that's because they don't pay out on claims. You're not saving any money by choosing Pet's "Best". Try Nationwide or Spot ... much better.

Very costly .....My policy went up a lot in price with…

My policy went up a lot in price with the renewal I was not happy about that. Also I am paying a co pay on every bill I submit per item, copay for the visit I can understand but why copay on her meds? I am now seeing if the monthly cost is really worth it.
