Horriible coverage for vet follow up instructions and pet food/medication needs

My pet had diarrhea in result of a possible allergic response and the medicines to help the allergy. He was pooping water every hour for 5 days. I requested that my VET recommend food and anti diarrhea medicine would be reimbursed. I had purchased these to get him better and did not analyze what was and wasn't covered under the policy as I needed to get him better asap and also I assumed that since this was all part of his treatment it would be covered. Your policy did not cover this. Ridiculous. Talk about not having a peace of mind for my pet. Its not like this is a normal issue. it was an emergency visit and follow up care.

Dissapointing, waste of money.

We paid for insurance when my dog was 3, now years later we need the support to care for my dog, we were denied and when I spoke to customer service on the phone to ask why we were denied the man did not even understand the policy and jumbled around to try and come up with an answer. It was baffling and the only solution was to file a claim that would take 90+ days to process. What a waste of thousands of dollars.

Horrible !!!

I submitted several bills for our one year old pup. They denied over $1000 worth of claims and tried to say it was a pre-existing condition with his stomach. Just because one time when he was a pup, he ate some thing that did not agree with him and he got diarrhea. So anything stomach related, they say is pre-existing. Horrible company

Money spent with very little in return

We have been paying $80+ a month for years to Pet's Best and we hardly ever get much back from them at all for our dog Rocket's Vet bills. With every claim submitted there's always some excuse or vague technicality they come up with. A total insurance ripoff. We're considering taking our business elsewhere if they don't start helping pay our Vet bills better than they have been. And believe me...we're not their only customers thinking the exact same thoughts!
