Scam Alert for Pets Best

I submitted $800 worth of claims. Wellness, shots, an early and meds. It took them over a month to get back to me via email to advise they denied all claims. This company is a total fraud. I paid my premium every month for over a year and received absolutely no benefit from it. Don't trust this company.

New pet added to existing policy

We added a new pet to our existing policy and went straight to the vet for first vaccinations and health checkup. Snapped some quick pictures of our receipt and itemized visit description and added them to the Pet's Best app. Within a week or so payout was directly deposited into my personal bank account and I got an email with the payout decision. Easy Peasy!! Now my new baby has her shots and first wellness check and I didn't break the bank! Please be aware that I have the wellness add on to my policy (accident and illness alone doesn't cover preventive care) So far, I have not had to make any accident/illness claims, but its nice knowing the coverage is there should something happen!

Excellent company

Pets Best has always been responsive to claims and always thoroughly explained their determination of payment. As a baby, claims were easy but since developing epilepsy, claims were more frequent and more complicated. Pets Best has continued high quality service and responsiveness, making it possible for me to provide the care my girl has needed over the years. It is only due to Pets Best that I’ve been able to do so. I’m grateful to them and would highly recommend them to anyone needing the best in pet insurance for their own pets.
