My premiums have risen 50% year over…

My premiums have risen 50% year over year. They say it is only based on age and zip code. When I experimented and set up a new policy under a different name, it was 1/4the the cost of my equivalent policy which I've had for 4 years. Something is fishy here.

Service is good

With my one dog having diabeties, we spend about 150 a month on supplies/meds and you cover it which is great, but the monthly fee is getting higher and making it more difficult to keep up.

End of Life Care

My beautiful 15 year old dog needed to be helped over the rainbow bridge. When I let Pet's Best know about this, they reimbursed my prorated annual payment I had just made a few months before. I honestly didn't think that would happen, because I don't think most insurance companies will do that, much less do it without me even asking for it. It was an enormous blessing in an otherwise terribly painful time. I am very grateful, Pets Best.

I have had Pets Best for years

I have had Pets Best for years. They recently got bought out by another company and it has gone completely downhill. I can't recommend them anymore. I would switch my cat to another insurance if I could but he has pre-existing conditions so I have to keep them. All future animals will go on another insurance plan with a company that is not owned by this corporate outfit. The customer service is terrible- it used to be outstanding. They don't care anymore. I filed a wellness claim and they reprocessed it again incorrectly. I am done calling in and dealing with this. In the past wellness and illness claims could be sent together and they knew how to process it correctly- now they don't know what they are doing with claims or even what your policy includes. If you are looking for a good pet insurance- look elsewhere.
