Pretty good pet insurance
They have handled all our claims pretty efficiently, and reimbursement came pretty quickly. When I have contacted them by phone they were always helpful and courteous. It is expensive, but I think all the companies are.

Great Vet and great insurance!
Voorhees Veterinary Center has a wonderful staff and the vets are outstanding. They really take the time needed to answer any questions and treat your pet as if they’re their own. The facility is always very clean. All of my claims that have been submitted have been reviewed and reimbursed quickly. Having Voorhees Veterinary Center and MetLife on my pets side has been a winning combination!!

Absolute failure on all levels - DO NOT use this insurance company
I wish I had contacted the BBB and read their reviews before signing up with Pets Best. They are awful. I have had one simple claim in the past year since starting this policy. I was told when I signed up that claims are processed within 15 days. After 30 days for this claim, I started calling and was told that it is actually 42 days. No one could tell me if/when my claim would be processed. Every phone call to customer service involved 30 minutes + on hold. Customer service reps know nothing and are not helpful whatsoever. After repeated phone calls with no resolution and no end in sight, I opened a case with the BBB. Several days after that I received a letter from Pets Best letting me know my rates are increasing 45% at renewal next month. When I signed up I was told to set up direct deposit so claims would get paid out in 1-2 days. I did that, yet my payment took a week. I cancelled my policy the day my reimbursement hit my checking account. This is a horrible company and I am shocked they are still in business. Do not use this company! I will be sure to spread the word.

Trupanion is totally worth the cost of peace of mind.
After paying out thousands for pet care we finally decided that pet insurance was the way to go. Our Chihuahua is 16 and in really good health but on Sunday I knew there was something seriously wrong. She couldn’t urinate. Never even had a urinary tract infection that we were aware of. Rushed her to the animal emergency hospital where they confirmed that she had stones blocking her bladder. Estimate for care and surgery $10,000-$13,000. I knew we had Trupanion and didn’t think twice about how we were going to afford treating her. We paid our deductible and Trupanion paid the rest directly to the animal hospital. Otherwise, we would have to had close to $10,000 that day to treat her. None of us think this would happen to us but I witnessed other pet parents trying to pay their bill with multiple credit cards and debit cards that day. We made a very wise decision to get pet insurance and to pick Trupanion.

Beware of policy wording - read fine print
This company has very misleading advertising. They claim to cover 90% of the bill but they don't cover taxes or exam fees! Where I am taxes are 13% which means they cover 77% at best. They claim to not raise premiums based on age but it's clear from reviews you can expect a 50-100% increase when the dog is a few years old. (I feel they rely on cost sunk fallacy.) They don't cover dental extractions if your dog is a heavy chewers or doesn't get frequent cleanings. The deductible is per illness so if your dog starts vomitting after an emergency vet visit you will still be on the hook for the deductible again. Cancelling wasn't too much of a hassle. I cancelled almost immediately after signing up. Hopefully it gets processed quickly.

Claims processing
The worst of all I've worked with over the years. Claims submitted accurately and completely take weeks for any attention and then never communicating if any additional proof needed. Don't believe their 5-10 day processing nonsense. Like clockwork your premium payments are addressed though. They should put that kind of focus on reimbursing their clients

Healthy Paws is wonderful.
Healthy Paws is the best pet insurance provider for my 2 fur babies. Both have had significant health issues (one had 2 torn CCL and one had a spinal stroke that left him paralyzed in his rear legs for several months). We wouldn’t have been able to provide the needed care for both of them without Healthy Paws. For our paralyzed pup, Healthy Paws also covered rehab services. Very quick claims processing and payout process. Cannot say enough positive things about the coverage and service.

We love Healthy Paws
We had a fantastic experience with Healthy Paws. Piggy became suddenly paralyzed and needed emergency spinal surgery. This was very stressful and expensive. We submitted our invoice from the hospital and were reimbursed within 2-3 days. Healthy Paws helped turn a horrible incident into a less stressful one with their quick processing time. We would definitely recommend them!!

Sneaky clauses
Apparently the policy excludes conditions that arose in a prior policy year, even if you were insured with PHI at the time. What a scam! I’ve never heard of any insurance working in this manner. Our dog developed a cyst in April but our policy renewed in May. By the time he was seen by a specialist, who is recommending surgery, we were into a new policy year and therefore this is considered a pre-existing condition so none of the specialist fees nor surgery will be covered even though we were insured the entire period. Make sure your pets’ illnesses occur in isolated years otherwise your claims won’t be paid! How ridiculous! I’m sure it’s clearly written in our policy (the lawyers would have made sure of that) but this is so contrary to how I’ve ever experienced insurance that I didn’t notice that restriction. It’s totally understandable if the condition arose before we got insurance but this is nonsense.

I am very happy
I have had my dog insured with Pets Plus Us since he was a puppy. I have never had a large claim until recently. I often thought that I was wasting money since my claims were small. However, recently my dg required treatment that was very costly. I submitted my claim to Pets Plus Us and within a few days I received my reimbursement. I am very happy with the service and so thankful that I kept my dog insured.
