Emergency gallbladder rupture
It was a whirlwind day regular vet to 24 hour clinic for abdominal ultrasound, bloodwork then told to rush to another emergency clinic when ultrasound revealed ruptured gallbladder surgery was needed ASAP!, after hearing the quote for the surgery and if she makes it through will be several days hospital stay. After freaking out my husband says we have pet insurance oh yeah right! Thank god. Just the surgery and hospital stay was $11,000. Plus the lead up cost to get her to that point. After each vet and clinic we sent in the invoices and they were approved quickly and we started to get reimbursement checks the following week after her surgery! Anyone he tells me they are getting a puppy or a dog/cat I tell them to get pet insurance immediately. You just never know. I got her insurance when she was 12 weeks old, never used it till she was 4 then Boom! IMHA 3 blood transfusions, 9 days hospital! Healthy paws came thru and now this gallbladder rupture! Don’t be the person standing at the reception desk when your animal is sick having to make a life or death decision for your pet! You can say no problem I have pet insurance to back me up!

despite some points for improvement, a positive experience.
I've had the insurance for a year and it's been extremely helpful. Just this year, my 7-year-old dog, who has never been ill, started having various problems. Some of them unfortunately started during the waiting period and were treated as pre-existing conditions, but the rest were covered and were our salvation.
On a positive note, they didn't increase my price absurdly after a year, even though I had used their insurance (unlike Trupanion who DOUBLED the deductible for my other dog who didn't even use the insurance).
a negative point is that the website is limited and there's no customer service, so for most things you have to call. Reimbursement also takes forever (it's taken 40 days but on average it takes 20-30) but overall I'm very satisfied.

It was so easy to fill the claim online form and the claim was processed and I received the reimbursement within a couple of weeks. I am so glad I have this insurance!

Ruptured Disc
My two year old beagle required surgery for a ruptured disc. Because of Pets Best I was able to get her the best care available. She has made a full recovery, much faster than anyone expected. Her bill was a little over $8000. After paying a $250 deductible and 20% copay, I was reimbursed $6500. The only item not reimbursed was for vitamins. Her premium for the year was less than $500 so it's been very cost effective to have her insured with Pets Best.

Excellent, comprehensive no hassle coverage
I have two senior dogs. On has had joint issues since 3 months, the other now has numerous issues as she ages. Many claims and thousands of $ of care, including alternative treatments have been covered without question. Agents have been helpful when I’ve made mistakes in submitting making sure I get the full benefit of the insurance. I’d never own a pet without PPU

Great service
It is always easy to file online, when they needed additional information it was quickly resolved. By the Vet and myself and the claim was finalized in 3 to 5 day with my money on the way. Always good quick service and responses.

Best Pet Insurance
This is the best pet insurance. Our dog Bella suddenly became very ill. The vet bills mounted up. Our pet insurance made it easy to submit claims. Claims were all paid in full with no issues. Great company. I highly recommend.

Complete Disappointment
When I purchased this insurance, it was claimed to begin immediately with no waiting period which is why I selected this company over all the others. I took my newly adopted puppy into the vet due to kennel cough and submitted the claim. The mobile app to submit a claim is garbage, it crashes and glitches constantly. Then it took nearly 30 days to review and deny my claim. I received no updates for nearly 20 days about the process, and the update was an emailed apology for the delay in processing. I will be looking for new insurance.

Greasy Fetch
I didn’t use Fetch insurance at all because I had to take my animal into the Vet 1-2 day short of the 2-week waiting period. I ended up spending $800 at the Vet,wasn’t reimbursed for anything and when I ask for my refund for not using Fetch pet insurance at all they after explaining the situation they said forget it. So I paid the Vet out of pocket and also Fetch insurance that I wasn’t able to use.I’ll never purchase Fetch pet insurance ever again!!
