Medication for my German Shepherd

PetsBest has very good coverage for medications, simple to file claims, and reimburses quickly. My girl and I are very happy that Adequan is covered and she's feeling so much better. Thank You

Yearly check up

My cat went in for his yearly exam and they covered some of the bill which around Christmas time is a blessing because it went right back to him and our other cat (yet to be added just rescued) for Christmas presents.

Best Pet Insurance

I have compared plans and you will not find a better provider. Don't even think about another insurance company for your beloved pet. This company is fast, courteous, fairly priced and reimburses fast and generously.

Multiple claims

I have made numerous claims recently because past claims were never filed. Many have been paid; some denied; some toward the deductible and some still pending. I think that too much was applied to my deductible in 2024 and I submitted an email for clarification. That is still pending. I was out of town for many months and while I had the insurance premiums automatically charged to my checking account, no claims were filed. I worked with a number of representatives at Pets Best to get all the claims filed. It was a bit overwhelming, and they were very helpful. Many of the claims have been paid---denied----or applied to the deductible, but there are still a number pending. I have received emails that they have been received and are in process. Considering the circumstances, the overall response and assistance from Pets Best has been excellent.

Pet’s Worst Insurance!

This is the worst insurance! They don’t answer the.phone or respond to emails. I’m going to contact CA insurance board and NAPHIA! They tell you to read your EOB. And, say it’s a problem that occurred before your insurance went into effect. A blood test is not a symptom and they don’t contact your vet either.. This insurance is a complete scam!! Don’t fall for it. Look at other people’s complaints, it’s all the same thing!

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill. Reimbursements are sent directly to CareCredit credit card when chosen as your default reimbursement method.
