The whole process from signing up to filing claims is simple. Pet's Best does everything in a timely manner and I appreciate their attentiveness to my insurance needs.
Always had good things to say about Pet's Best until this last claim i made, was not very happy after being with this insurance company for over 8 years.Seems like they will find some way to not paid.
My overall experience has been positive. My claims have been paid timely. There was a period of a few months where PetsBest was updating software and it did seem the claims took about a month to process. When my claim has been denied I followed up with needed information (due to a newly adopted pet) and then claim was processed. I did a TPLO surgery on one of my dogs and was very please at the processing time and reimbursement. I have one pet on maintenance medication and have had no issues with claims being processed. I went 2 years having no need to process claims and then this last year we have had several needs and I have grateful to have this for my 3 dogs so I can make quality of life decision without having to heavily weigh in cost as I know after deductible I'll start to receive reimbursement. I recommend this company. My overall experience has been positive. My claims have been paid timely.

The process was easy. Just upload and submit. Because I didn't opt for vet visits they denied the consultation in the ER which was the vet going over the results from the visit in the emergency center. As part of the appointment it should be covered.
Generally I like Pets Best. However, they take a long time to process claims. Easily 3-4 times as long as my friends company. But I have a better policy with more coverage and a better online experience. The automatic email communication is subpar. Several times the issue with a claim getting processed was a lack of medical records but Pets Best didn't tell me they weren't getting a response from my Vet. I had to call Pets Best to figure out what was going on over a month later. This could have easily been prevented if in the first delay email they just included WHY the claim was delayed. But again over all I am satisfied that Pets Best is the best option for me and my pupper right now.
It was so easy and fast; submitting the paperwork, acknowledgment, processing, and payment.
I had a friend suggest pet insurance a few years ago and decided to give it a try. My dog is healthy but we had an unexpected accident in October where he hurt his knee. Pets Best made the process easy and WAY less stressful. Pet insurance is a MUST, I will never go without it again!
I like what I received it just took longer than I thought it would to get the reimbursement.
Pets Best is amazing. Wonderful customer service. Rates and coverage options to fit any budget. The claims process is simple and works seamlessly with prompt processing. I highly recommend Pets Best and am so glad to have them to assist with our pets health care needs.
We love Pets Best! They have been fantastic with claims and reimbursement of those claims.
I was fortunate to not need the insurance after purchasing it for a few years. But when my girl Lacey ended up with dental fracture injuries PetsBest processed my claims quickly - even reaching out to my vet for records. All applicable charges for visit and surgery were taken care of and I received payment based on my policy terms. Highly recommend PetsBest !!
Quick processing of claims and I have never once had to fight to have a claim approved.
I’m disappointed that the process took as long as it without knowing why. Only after calling and eventually getting an email did I find out that the delay was due to problems that had to do with updating the system. I would have felt more comfortable knowing that before I had to make the call. Especially since my monthly bill came right on time with no glitch.
A valid claim was denied and a phone call to a rep resolved the oversight quickly. It took another two weeks but it was during the holiday season. I was very satisfied with how well everything was handled.
I like the service, it’s very easy to file a claim. I hate that you say my dog has all kinds of pre existing conditions that you don’t cover with the amount that I pay for her. Also, the claim took longer than usual this time but that may just be because of the holidays.
Once they review the invoice correctly they pay quickly. I have called twice and resubmitted at least the same amount to get my dogs annual exam and vaccinations paid. I subscribe for the wellness package also. They finally have corrected one but I have not heard anything on the second dog. The annual visit was October, I submitted immediately and am still trying to get this straight.
I sent claims in in the beginning they were great now my dog is maybe five years in and the claims are not being paid no explanation they’re saying it’s an existing condition which it wasn’t. The dog hurt his leg. It was not in an existing condition. they raised my rates because they said I made too many claims and I haven’t put a claim in in over two years and good luck trying to get somebody to call you back.
Easy to make claims and receive reimbursement.
This was the first time I've ever purchased pet insurance. We have a new Malinois puppy and it seemed prudent. After checking a lot of different insurances I found this one to be the best value for the money. We also added the "wellness plan" since she will be getting all of her puppy shots and check ups. The first wellness check up and puppy shots bill I submitted for payment was approved within 3 days. They paid for everything except for her Puppy ParvoVirus vaccine. I thought it strange since they paid for her other vaccine. I called them on Christmas Eve (day) and got a US based customer service rep. She looked at it and said it was just an error since my vet's billing code didn't show "VAC" or the word "Vaccine" on the bill. They apparently use some type of AI to read and pay claims. She said it would be paid and the amount of the Parvo Vac would be added to my reimbursement check. Easy-Peasy. I wish all my medical claims were that easy to fix. So far so good with this new insurance. At the price of vets these days (I'm in Hawaii) you can easily recover your annual premium in just one or two visits. Our friend's Pomeranian puppy broke her leg and her vet bills totaled $11k for everything to fix it. Like all insurance, best to have it and hope you never need to use it.
My claim was processed in less than a week. Thank you.
Unlike the experience I’ve had with some of these aftermarket car warranties Pets Best insurance has done exactly as they have described to do they take care of me when they need to and then there’s sometimes I’ll turn a claim in that they can’t pay on and that’s fine but they’ve been fair all along. I just filled a claim and was reimbursed nearly 3months dues with very little out of pocket. I think and while I don’t wish harm to anyone’s 4-legged little friend, hospital bills is where the real magic happens in terms of reimbursements.
I recommend pets best to everyone! It is easy to navigate the website. When I submit a claim it's easy to check on progress. I get emails if the claim is taking longer than two weeks to process.
Wish there were more levels of coverage for wellness claims. Will only cover less than about half of flee and tick meds. Then no other wellness claims for remainder of the year.
The overall process to submit a claim was very simple and straightforward. And I actually ended up getting reimbursed for more than I was expecting, which was beyond amazing! It took a bit longer than was ideal for things to process and get reimbursed, but overall this was definitely the best experience I've had with a pet insurance company.
Had coverage on my 4 dogs for 7 years, it's been great aside from the doubling of premiums each year for the past 2 years. Prior to that there were no premium increases. Claim submission and reimbursement is quick and easy. Even with increased premiums, it's saved me thousands over the last 2-3 years.
Good, reliable
Pets Best is the best purchase for our dog. The claim process is incredibly easy, offering us total peace of mind for his health. Highly recommended.
Pets Best is great. They have upheld their end of the insurance, and I have had no issues with them.
In general the cost is ok… downside items are- very slow claims reimbursement process and claim information collection process.
Prompt review of claims (usually). The last couple of times it's been an extended wait for claims to be covered but I attribute that to the recent updates on your site.
Easy Reimbursement was swift
When I was on a vacation this Summer my dog had an emergency and I did not hesitate even for a minute to ask my brother to take him to a veterinarian , because I knew Pets Best was gonna be there when I needed. Sure enough, when I submitted the claim, Pets Best reimbursed me in timely manner.
I love pets best overall. The only issue, which has become a major problem for me financially lately, is the time it takes to process claims. It's been taking 4 weeks before I am paid for claims which is a financial hardship for me.
We originally chose Pets Best over competitor products because of their reputation for simple transaction, prompt reimbursement for covered claims, and no run-arounds. And in the beginning, that's how it was. However, over the past 2 years, Pets Best has become just like every other company. It takes far long than advertised just to have them acknowledge each claim, and then there is the all-to-familiar "we're sorry your claim is taking longer than normal" email... for every. single. claim. And then I get more emails advising our claim is incomplete, for not having provided a proper invoice - which I absolutely had (not sure where they're losing our personal data and documents), so I re0=-submit the same document, receive a confirmation email of receipt.... and then weeks later... yet another "we're sorry your claim is delayed" message, as if the entire process had started over again. Customer service is quite helpful over the phone, but... again, similar to many other competitors, their hold times are extensive now (they weren't when we first started with them). There is no hustle, there is no expediency, and they now are less effective in handling claims, so they're a lot like many other competitors now and, IMHO, have lost their competitive edge. The EOBs do provide good explanations, mostly for why something might not be a covered claim, but they do provide clear information, and when something is covered, they do provide good processing... after far too extended times.
When I first signed up with Pets Best loans were processed within a week and reimbursement too. Now it takes almost a month for claims to be processed and paid. Otherwise it is a great Pet Insurance.
I like the ease of use of the website. I dislike how long it takes to get reimbursed
Fast and easy claims submitting process. Processed claim in less than a month, which is better than the industry norm.
Pets Best is a VERY GOOD insurance for pets. It was highly recommended by my Vet and have had great experiences with them. Fast accurate claims.
Pets Best has been the single best investment we have made in our dog. Coverage has been as expected. The app works great and we get reimbursed in a timely manner. I have and will continue to recommend!
After being with a different insurance company for 10 years for my 10 year old dog I changed to PetsBest due to their pricing being half of the previous company. 4 months into the PetsBest policy my dog was diagnosed with cancer. Cancer was removed completely and she is doing great. Pet's best paid my large claim without any hassle exactly per the policy. I was very concerned being a new policy holder with an older dog, but they took care of me without issue. Highly recommend.
They are very efficient and return claims very quickly.
I’ll be honest Pets Best is probably one of the best investments I have made next getting my dog. My little dude ended up with some tumors and a broken tooth over time and I never really had to worry about affording it because of my coverage. It’s also helpful with recurring medications and wellness checks.
As far as the price goes, it's comparable with other companies for similar deals. Dealing with the staff was great, submitting claims is easy but getting the claims approved and receiving the payment is extremely slow. You will get the EOB and still take a week to receive the direct deposit.
I honestly believed my reimbursement claims for my pet’s wellness visit fees was going to be covered more than what it turned out to be.
While the plans and coverage are more straight-forward than some, the claims process is very challenging. The same items will be covered in some cases, but not in others. Multiple items in the same claim will sometimes be processed, other times missed altogether. If items are missed, then an appeal is required, which takes more time and up to 30 days to complete. All of these claims issues significantly degrade the overall experience.
Very prompt turn around of our claim.
Fast claims processing.
Very prompt response to Ginger's claim. She was pleased and gave a very affirmative "Woof" because she now had a check coming to buy more food and toys.
Pets Best is a good company. As my dog gets older, his pet insurance costs go up a little, however, PetsBest did not lower his benefits like my previous company did. My previous insurance not only lowered his benefits but also raised the monthly payment. PetsBest employees are very nice and really care about my dog.
