Daily allergy medication coverage.

My dog has allergies and requires daily medicine. I have never had an issue getting my coverage, minus my deductible. Easy online claims where you upload the paid bill and the company processes it and deposits your funds directly into your acccount. Easy peasy.

Initially i got great response

Initially i got great response, very easy interactive links! unfortunately i had the most terrible time and response when trying to get reimbursed. After several attempts of bills amounting to roughly $1,000.00 dollars i was reimbursed about $16.95 for all my troubles.

Cannot Recommend Pets Best any Higher

Our 3 dogs have better heath insurance than we do. That is a fact! We have 3 dogs with 3 policies. We thought since they run a lot, we should get them covered for potential injuries. Needless to say we've had no injuries or claims on 2 of the dogs at all (thankfully). But our 6 YO Basenji experienced sudden vision loss. It's been intensive and costly. Pets Best has been there every step of the way to share the burden. EASY claims process. FAST claims resolution. I've since referred several of my friends and family to them, and I'm comfortable recommending them to anybody who thinks they need pet insurance. And if you have a pet and think you don't need it, you might want to reconsider. Things happen. Most of them costly. We've been able to provide Sue top level care only because we had Pets Best to share the burden. Cannot say enough about them.
