**all claims are always denied*

**everything IS pre-existing** DO NOT USE THEM ~I took my dog in just for a wellness exam that includes physical exam and blood work and they said it’s a pre-existing condition. How is this a pre-existing when it’s just a wellness exam?? They stole my money legally and they will steal yours! Please save your money and go elsewhere. They are PetsWorst– they will give you the worst stress and headaches ever so RUN AWAY FROM THEM! Per their reply-- again, the exam was a routine exam and allergies was noted out of the exam so how is this a preexisting? Allergies come and go, still the annual exam should be covered because we paid for the wellness fees!! Well, PetBest isnt best here. They find every reason to deny you! Do not use them-- learn from my and others' mistakes! Don't trust the good reviews here. -- there are companies that will create good reviews if you pay them!

New Cat - First Time Having Pet Insurance

I just adopted a new cat a month ago, and I researched pet insurances and Pets Best was rated one of the best overall insurances. I took my cat Socks to our family vet for a routine check up; I submitted my claim the same day and a week later, the claim was reviewed and approved. The next day I was reimbursed for my portion. I am extremely happy with my first experience with Pet Best and how fast the turn-around time was.

Very Pleased…

I purchased this insurance last month knowing there were mixed reviews about the company. I chatted with an agent who was very helpful and signed up our pup. Obtained the records from our Vet and sent them in. Filed our first claim last Monday (July 12). Claim was settled in five days and money deposited in our account in eight days. I could not have asked for a better, easier experience.

Wonderful insurance for dog

Wonderful insurance for our family dog! So happy and reassuring to have this protection for our Dog. Unfortunately, we have had to provide medical care for our dog a few times however the insurance protection is reassuring. Easy to upload the vet services/bills and very reasonable turnaround time!

Pet's Best has your back

Pet's Best Insurance is the best purchase I have made in a very long time. I have always owned dogs, but never had insurance. Within the first 6 weeks of our new pups life, she ate a grape. Grapes can be deadly to dogs and she had a 5 day intensive care stay. Pet's Best was quick to respond. The website is so easy to use and filing a claim was easy. Our doggie is fine now and we have peace of mind knowing Pet's Best has our back. Never go without this great protection
