Do not recommend!

All of my claims were denied because my dog was born with the illness so then what is the point of pet insurance if it is not going to cover any of the future costs? I am very disappointed. I spend hundreds of dollars with Pets Best insurance for nothing and not including thousands of dollars I spent on my dog's vet hoping insurance will cover some of it. I do not recommend if your dog is prone to getting sick due to previous illness.

Petsbest insurance determined my cat's…

Rejected $650 claims because my cat vomited before Petsbest insurance determined my cat's vomiting as a pre-existing condition. One morning my cat vomited 3 times in a row, so we were worried and sent her to the vet. A month later, the Petsbest rejected $650 claims because they saw my cat vomit before the insurance registration date(from the medical record). If you are a cat owner, you know all cats occasionally vomit due to hairballs, stress, and diet change, which is very normal. Hence, be careful with Petsbest insurance. You are only qualified for it if your cat has never vomited before. ----please check the reply from Petsbest. They require your cat never vomited before/during the insurance activation period, which is BS. All the cats will vomit occasionally. In short, no cat is qualified for the Pestsbest insurance.
