Great pet insurance
Last year my cat, Joey, needed an ACL repair. Major surgery, rarely in cats! MetLife covered the surgery expenses at the best, most highly recommended surgeon in the area. They also covered all his recommended treatments, including laser and physical therapy, and follow-up. No questions asked, as long as the surgeon felt it was necessary. The customer service was excellent. Yes, it wasn’t the least expensive, but the coverage was excellent! Joey is fully recovered and back to playing!

A life saver for my cat
My cat has many health issues that are complex and chronic.. I have to manage them with both medication and alternative medicine, like holistic methods, i.e. chinese herbs and acupuncture. MetLife has been covering it all, and it is not hard to submit to them either, like with other companies. Super simple, and it is covered. For my cat, who has had serious issues her entire adult life, it has been a life saver to have the insurance and to be able to use all modalities of veterinary medicine. She is now 14 years old and still going strong. I switched my other cats from Embrace to MetLife too because of the ease of submission. And it was slightly cheaper.
A Pet Parent's best friend
I have never felt compelled to write a review for a service until now. And it's insurance of all things. :) We have been customers of Healthy Paws for about 7 years and they have been absolutely critical keeping our boy Duke alive and happy. Duke has had a series of unpredictable but life-threatening systemic issues, some acute and some needing ongoing treatment/medication. I have been absolutely surprised and elated at how easy and fast I was able to submit claims and get reimbursed. It's also very hard to find pet insurance with no annual max, but thankfully I selected a policy with the right company. In 2024, Duke's medical bills are pretty close to $30,000. Our decisions in very emotional and tense moments have been focused 100% on what is best for him. I don't have to worry about paying for his care and I am confident in how much reimbursement we will get. Duke is the poster child for why pet insurance is an absolute must and I highly recommend Healthy Paws.
Pet's Best is an exceptional company which I recommend highly.
"I've had Pet's Best insurance since 2017. They are a stellar company. Last year my dog was diagnosed as diabetic, and earlier this year he lost his sight completely due to cataracts from the diabetes. Three weeks ago he had cataract surgery and he can now see again. Pet's Best has paid the claims promptly and completely, and thanks to them I was able to get the surgery my dog needed. I really can't recommend them highly enough. I have had surgeries for my dogs in the past and Pet's Best has always paid the claims promptly. Also, having free access to Whiskerdocs has proven to be invaluable. If it wasn't for them, I would not have known to take my dog to an Internal Medicine Specialist to regulate his diabetes - which the primary vet was unable to do. Whiskerdocs has been an excellent resource."
Worst Insurance
Pets Best is one of the worst pet insurance companies. Whenever I make any claim, they lump everything together with "Preexisting Condition." My dog has an ear infection, and they claim that my dog's skin allergies are causing severe ear infections. My vet thinks it is otherwise, but it is a bacterial infection. I am frustrated with this insurance.
Nares surgery
After being told Nares surgery is usually covered by Pets Best I was very disappointed that my claim was denied! I knew Nitro had a problem with nares at my first vet visit. I had hoped it would resolve on its own but his breathing continued to get worse. I have never dealt with this problem before and was not happy my Ins. denied the claim. It affected his breathing and needed to be fixed. I felt this was a valid claim!
Horrible Pet Insurance turn-around time!
I have abeen a customer of Pet Best Insurance and pay $110(!)/month total for both my dog and cat. I recently submitted three claims for reimbursement. One was for an RX which was processed and reimbursed in a timely manner, and the other two which were for my dog's annual exam is still "being processed" despite the fact that it has been 10+ days since it was submitted! When attempting to reach the company via email to inquire why their was a hold-up, I discovered that there was no way to do so. The only way to communicate is via phone call. I placed said call and was put thru numerous hoops and menus to attemot to reach a human. I finally refused to push anymore numbers and thus was placed on a torturous hold with the same annoying message repeated in a loop about accessing the FAQ section online. After this, I reached a lovely customer service rep (at least this was a bright spot!) who informed me that it can take 15-45 days to process a claim!! Unfortunately, there wasn't anything she could do to expedite but siad she would submit a complaint on my behalf. Needless to say, I will cancel this horrible insurance and seek a better option that can process in a timely way in the same way that they are timely to request and receive my monthly payments!
