Thinks twice after reading my review

When our first dog died my wife found rescue, she made or pain easier, year after we saved life of another little joy. Both covered by PetsBest. I never had issues, paid 90/10, never cancelled Wellness Part, never complained about rising prices or claim processing time. Just loyal happy customer. All changed in one day. Little joy developed teeth issues. Took him to vet - he needed 12 teeth removed, life saving situation. Emergency situation! Pets Best claimed your dog health is our number one priority!?? They simply denied claim saying you have to wait 13 months before anything can be done!!!! Imagine you need live saving surgery and your insurance telling you to wait! Appeal says same - keep your dog in pain for 13 months until we will cover it. You people have no hearts at all!

Worth every penny

We have used pets best for our last two dogs. Our oldest who’s only five years old has had three major incidents that were all covered by pets best. They were quick to pay any claims. I think our rates are fair especially with what they’ve covered. We are 100% thankful for them and will use them for every one of our pets moving forward
