After 3 years of pocketing my money, the one time my dogs need them, they bail out because my dog is 6years old

3 years of paying them, for my 3 dogs, I never filed a claim with them, because my dogs are mostly healthy they go to the vet twice a year and they are usually well. Then Rocky has an accident break his tooth and he has to have a procedure to relief pain and avoid infections. But he was denied because he is 6 years old, they only accepted like $400 of the $1300. I was furious how can someone deny him for the age, at only 6 years old. If instead of the insurance I saved that money in a savings account, I would have used only a 30% of it to cover 100% of the expense. So from now on I will do that, save it in to a doggy savings account for emergencies instead or hire a better insurance provider.

PetsBest - Will take your money, and cover nothing.

They’re quick to add everything to your 500$ yearly deductible, but as soon as you hit that and expect them to start paying, well, good luck getting a penny out of them. Will be canceling my policy.

Your company is trash and a ripoff for…

Your company is trash and a ripoff for honest people in need of help. I even called an agent months ago to confirm the surgery would be covered and only after I paid out of pocket and submit a claim I'm being told otherwise. You are a horrible company and you should be ashamed of how you do business. Dirty tricks and deceit to rip customers off, hope your proud of yourselves. Don't listen to these other reviews, filtered out the bad ones to avoid painting an accurate picture.
