Very happy

I submitted a claim for reimbursement for treatment for our dog. Four days later reimbursement was deposited into our bank account in accordance with our policy ( 80% coverage). There was no disputing or questioning of any of the treatments or payments. I couldn’t be happier with the quick response.

Always Reliable

I've had a few claims and each time the process has been easy and we are usually reimbursed within a week or two. Using Pets Best is one of the best decisions I've made.

Appeals take 3 months

I was very disappointed with PetsBest. In December, my cat was diagnosed with asthma. Although I got a letter from my vet stating that he did not have a pre-existing condition before the start of my cat's insurance plan. Although they are fairly quick about making decisions when it comes to claims, they take FOREVER (3 months) to answer appeals. I went through 6 months total since I appealed their decision twice, and both were denied. After that, I decided to cancel the plan because I can't trust them to reimburse me and take care of my pet if I need it.
