Petsbest rejected $650 claims because they considered cats' vomiting as pre-exiting condition

I am very disappointed with the Petsbest insurance and believe this is a scam. ALL cats vomit once in a while, which is normal behavior. My cat vomited 3 times in the morning, so we were worried and sent her to the vet and got $650 bills. My vet wrote "Patient vomit once in a while " on the medical record, hence Petsbest insurance determined this incident as a pre-existing condition and rejected the claims. Walk away with Petsbest insurance.

Pets Best is an Outstanding company

Pets Best has been incredible. They made the claim process so easy. All we had to do was upload the bill. Pets Best communicated with the vet and got all the medical records. They kept me apprised of the status of my claim with frequent emails. The contract we signed with them was easy to understand and they stood by everything they'd promised to deliver. It was an incredible experience and I highly recommend them.
