Waste of money

They take forever to give you an answer. They make up reasons to deny your claim & you have to wait on hold at least 30 minutes to have them start the process. Children crying in the background.

Should be called "Petsworst"

They have no formulary treatment for dog sick with worms or giardia (common issues especially in puppies! I found this out when they shockingly didn't cover my dog's Panacur.) Also, my dog got conjunctivitis a second time last year (he's very social and in daycare) and they refused to cover the visit or antibiotics, calling this acute condition "pre-existing " because he had it twice. Unbelievable! They have yet to cover a penny of expenses. I want my money back for this sham coverage.

The worst pet insurance do not sign up

This is the worst pet insurance company. Six months after signing up for this insurance company my 3 year old German Shepard was diagnosed with Panus, a rare autoimmune disorder. Pet best has denied every claim we have sent them for erroneous reasons. We have sent them letters from our veterinarian and all documentation request and have still never been paid for any claim. Find a different company and do your research.
