Pets Best customer

I am a satisfied customer of Pet's Best. Without this insurance I would not be able to provide my dogs the care they need. 5 stars.

Mandy

"I adopted Mandy when she was a year and a half. I never took insurance out before on a dog, but due to her size I thought it was a good idea because of things that can happen to large dogs, hip dysplasia, ACL, etc. Then my precious Great Pyrenees at the tender age of 4 1/2 developed Mast Cell Cancer. We went through four different chemo cocktails trying to stall the growth, but lost the battle 6 months after her diagnosis. The insurance was a god send for us. Don't know how we could have afforded all the treatment she needed. The claim process was very easy and claims were paid quickly. I will absolutely use your company again when I am lucky enough to find the next love of my life. "

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - THEY F-ING SUCK

This is the absolutely WORST company in EVERY AREA - customer service - ease of use - providing guidance on whether a procedure will be covered or not. I called PRIOR to my cat’s procedure (stomatitis - had to have her teeth pulled) to find out if this is a covered / partially covered / not covered procedure. I was looking for information - Pet’s Best response “We don’t provide any information until we have the COMPLETED paperwork on file.” This means you have no clue if you will receive any reimbursement. My cat had the procedure completed for her health. Her health is the priority. (Since having her teeth pulled - she is doing excellent) I submitted the paperwork August 1st - the Vet sent the requested patient file on August 19th and they denied my claim on August 28th. The reason they DENIED the claim - this is priceless- THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE REQUESTED PATIENT FILE!!! Can anyone help me understand that logic??? The vet clinic has resent the patient file and I’ve requested they reopen the claim. I’m not holding my breath based on the rudeness of their customer service team. Again - DO NOT SIGN UP WITH PETS BEST!!!

The better pet insurance company out there

My 4 years old boy, Cheese, who unfortunately passed away after a series of ER visits due to diabetes complications. Pets best has been nothing but responsive, making the claim process quite a breeze. The last claim, which went toward euthanasia for my boy, was processed quickly and Pets best was courteous enough to go ahead and refunded me for the last month subscription, and also sent us a condolence card. Highly recommend Pets best, one of the best pet insurance company out there!
