disappointed

I sent my receipts to pets best on 2/14/26 and never received a word until 3/5/26. Not acceptable in my book. It was not a complicated visit. Urinary infection. No surgery, nothing. So....my expectation is that this should be accomplished within a week.

Crazy Reason for Denial

I waited more than an hour on the phone to contest my claim that my dog's mass was a pre-existing condition. His waiting period ended on November 20th 2025. I saw the vet on February 19th because a small bump on his leg had started to turn scabby over the past few weeks. Told the vet during the visit that I had first seen the bump "maybe a couple months ago?" They denied it based on that claim- because "a couple months ago" would technically have been ONE DAY before the waiting period. Nevermind that it didn't start getting scabby until a few weeks ago. What a scam.

Don't buy insurance from this company

Don't buy insurance from this company; they're thieves. They never mentioned co-pays, they charge co-pays on everything. Besides that, they find ways to avoid paying, and when they do pay, it takes more than a month. Their customer service is awful. I'll never use this company of thieves and scammers again.

I’ve had a great experience with Pets…

I’ve had a great experience with Pets Best Insurance. They process claims pretty quickly, which makes a big difference when you’re dealing with vet bills. It also gives me peace of mind knowing I don’t have to hesitate about taking my pet to the vet or emergency hospital if something happens. Having that safety net really helps when you just want to focus on your pet’s health.

Waste of money

Waste of money, the claims process is easy but takes forever to process and get a response and even longer to get a refund. But, quick to take your payment.

Webs site consistently doesn't work

Webs site consistently doesn't work. Confirmation passcodes never work. Web site claims to have 24/7 help chat but it isn't true.

Impossible to reach by phone

In my experience, the company is impossible to reach by phone for any questions; also you can save clients a lot of time by cutting useless informercial from the phone menu maze.

Deny claims and refuse to pay/apply towards deductible

2 months in my dog had an ear infection and they denied the bill as pre-existing. There was NOTHING pre-existing and there is no way I would pay $70 a month for insurance and then allow my dog to suffer for 2 months just so it could be applied to my deducible anyway. Attempted to cancel and it was a 15 minute wait on hold with high pitched flute type music (trying to drive you insane so you hang up).

Unexpected injuries happen all the time. Fortunately, having the right insurance on your side is the must. I am very pleased with the Pets Best insurance service that helped me a lot financially in my situation.

The website never works anymore

The website never works anymore. Anytime I try to submit a claim it either kicks me out, doesn’t submit, or I’m not able to get into my account because it always says my password isn’t right (I’ve changed it 4 times)I understand wanting to update everything in your system but it’s causing even more issues than before

I purchased an accident-only policy…

I purchased an accident-only policy with Pets Best expecting coverage in the event of a documented emergency. In November, my dog suffered a traumatic injury, resulting in acute paralysis. Emergency records documented a suspected spinal injury, and a board-certified neurologist later diagnosed intervertebral disc extrusion with myelomalacia. She had no prior medical history.Despite clear documentation of an accidental spinal injury, Pets Best denied the claim, first stating it was “not an accidental injury.” without providing any meaningful explanation or reference to the medical findings. When pressed for clarification (in writing), they reclassified the condition as a cruciate ligament event—even though no veterinarian diagnosed a cruciate ligament injury and the medical records clearly identified a neurological spinal condition.The claim was ultimately reversed only after I filed a complaint with the California Department of Insurance. While reimbursement was issued, it required regulatory intervention and multiple rounds of follow-up.Insurance is meant to provide peace of mind during emergencies. In my case, I had to escalate and involve a regulator before the medical records were appropriately reviewed. There was no acknowledgment that the original denial was incorrect and no apology for the financial strain caused.Based on this experience, I would not recommend Pets Best.

Double check your coverage amounts when signing up.

With our last dog the coverage and service was amazing. With our new dog, I started with a higher deductible by mistake. I called to make changes and you can NEVER make a change unless it’s to up your coverage. So basically nothing is covered for this dog which is a bummer. When I was talking to the rep she mentioned I could switch insurance companies but everything she’s been treated for so far would be considered “pre-existing” and not covered somewhere else.
