False Information

I spoke with a representative before starting my account and directly asked if any future bloodwork, allergy shots, and ear infections would be covered under my policy. I was concerned because while my dog did not have any conditions at the time, she had previously had issues with allergies. My vet confirmed that she was healthy at the time of starting my policy. I was explicitly told all of that would be covered under my plan. When I submitted a claim for bloodwork due to my dog’s odd behavior and allergy shots for a rash she was exhibiting, both were denied. After talking to a customer service representative, she claimed that since my dog had an ear infection previously, all allergy related issues would be counted as prior conditions. She also said that bloodwork was not covered even though the representative originally told me it would be. I had heard rumors of Pets Best being a scam, but I decided to trust the representative anyway. This experience definitely verified these rumors.

A great company even better with Care Credit

I had the protection of this company's coverage 2020- 2023. They were very good with claims, though you could never speak to claims dept. directly. Filing a claim couldn't be easier. You just snap a photo of your paid invoice, answer. A few simple questions, when, where & what for and submit. They did have a feature that provided a turnaround time frame for a claim each time you filed, but I think that feature disappeared. That was disappointing. My Herbie cat was well cared for due to this insurance company. Even better after I got Care Credit in conjunction with the coverage. Cause the insurance company reimburses you after you submit a paid invoice. With Care Credit, they pay upfront and you can pay them back when the claim is completed by PETS BEST. I would definitely recommend this company in conjunction with Care Credit. It's an awesome way to provide necessary & needed care immediately, without worrying about the costs. Thank you for the coverage & service.
