Pets best has enabled me to give mg dogs the best care!

The reimbursement has been fair and excellent. I was able to have my boxers back knees operated on and the insurance paid 90%. The communication is prompt and the website easy to navigate. Yes they have pre existing conditions just read the policy carefully! It’s very reasonable and justified.

No runaround, just good coverage.

I thought I’d never need insurance but in order to diagnose a minor illness (pancreatitis) my dog had X-rays and a CT scan done at an emergency vet. The bill was over $5,000. Pet’s Best covered the full 90% I signed up for. No fine print, no loopholes, just coverage when I really needed it. If you’re on the fence about getting insurance, this is your sign. Highly recommend.

Run to another company!

Horrible company. Scam people into purchasing insurance and then deny claims for illnesses. Do not trust them with your pets' health. Go to another company! After calling the company based on the reply to this review. I am still convinced this company is not worth the money. I did cancel and have sent in an appeal to their denial of the claim. I will wait and see what happens now. I am sure, even though I attached an extensive letter from the specialist, that they will deny the claim since I cancelled the policy with them Run to another company! And check reviews before you sign with any of them. I should have done that, I would never have signed with them in the first place if I had.
