Great customer service

The woman who helped me, Linda, was VERY friendly. I was ready to cancel my policy, but she explained everything to me in a very friendly way and was really helpful. She also called me back after we got disconnected, which I appreciated.

BEWARE OF PETS BEST

This company is absolute garbage. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. This is not spam or a lie. I’m a real person who has a dog insured with this company paid on time every month and got 0 service. My dog had a surgery in APRIL sent in all appropriate paper work they claim that it was a preexisting condition. When he has never been diagnosed with any condition of the such. He went in for a surgery for an issue that popped up for absolutely no reason. I appealed it had to wait 90 days for an answer. MIND YOU there’s no one in claims to speak to, not even email. The email you never get a response it’s automated. Then when you speak to customer service all they say is “we don’t have that information you need to wait. So it 89th day today and I just got an answer on an appeal and they said they need more documents of history from the place my dog went for the surgery. The surgery is the only history he has at that animal hospital and they know that. They are still charging me $90 a month for 0 service. This place is a rip off. If this gets deleted I will continue to post it. If you are a current member I suggest you cancel it because when you need it it’ll be useless. If you’re thinking about joining don’t. It’s full blown fraud what they’re doing. Get Outlook for iOS

First claim submitted

Just had to submit my very first claim to Pets Best and I was so impressed with the ease to submit it and how quick they responded back to me and kept me informed of where the claim stood. This first claim went to my deductible but was very happy with them.
