The company has very pleasant and patient call takers. Unfortunately, the methods of actually approving claims are ridiculous. My dogs claim was entered over 3 months ago, and PetsBest keeps claiming they didn’t receive medical records, when I myself, as well as my vet, sent them. I’m more than frustrated and angry, and I’m owed over $5,000, which I don’t believe they want to pay. Excuses excuses! PetsBest needs to do a better job!

QUICK

This was the quickest turn around on filing a claim and getting approval. Still awaiting the deposit but at this point it has only been 2 days.

I was very disappointed on the time it took to process my claim. Also i had to pay more than my $250.00 deductible towards the bill.

Affordable Policy Designed to Fit My Needs

Pets Best Pet Insurance had many different options to fit my needs. I selected a 90/10 illness/accident policy since we do not have fleas and heartworm in my area, and I only needed protection for emergent illness/accident. The reasonableness of their monthly premiums allowed me to get higher coverage percentage at a lower rate than other companies' premiums. My pet then became ill and had to see a specialist. Pets Best has honored my policy and paid claims submitted in a quick and timely manner, alleviating some of the stress and burden associated with my pet's illness. Hats off to Pets Best for providing a quality product at a reasonable price. Me and my dog Oscar appreciate your company. Be sure to check out this company when shopping for pet insurance.
