Submitting a claim was every easy and a refund was sent directly to my bank. My only concern was that I was lead to believe everything had a 90% reimbursement rate for the wellness plan. It was a little less. The increase yearly as my dog ages was minimal. I hope it remains that way. All in all my first year with this insurance was positive.

It took so long before anybody reached out to me over 30 days. Then I only received a quarter of what I paid. I think I’m going to cancel this insurance and go to nations, my daughter-in-law has it for her pet and it’s very reasonable and they pay more

Don’t get this pet insurance

Don’t get this pet insurance. First of all the claims take FOREVER, they told me to email my vet for the invoices but even when I reached out to my vet and had them send the information immediately, they still took over a month. The customer service is via phone, they’ll put you on hold and then the agent never seems to know anything and is always super vague and unhelpful. I asked why my payment was higher than the quote they’re giving now for the exact same pet and benefits and nobody could explain it or fix it. She went through and compared the plan to my plan and pet and they were the exact same, which she agreed shouldn’t be the case, but then also said there was nobody I could reach out to and nothing I could do. She just said to cancel the policy and get it again with the new quote but that I’d have to do the waiting period and my last ER visit where my pet was diagnosed with nothing would be considered preexisting condition. How does any of that make sense?? Such an awful experience it all just seems shady

While I know the pet industry has grown 10 fold over the past couple of years and Pets Best is ramping up its claims and customers teams to make themselves the best in the business. I was not disappointed in the turn around time for my claim. I know they are doing their best and things will get better. Hats off to the team for making a difference. Thank you
