“What they pay out for procedures is not even close to what the average vet charges even if you shop around. They allow $150 for a neuter, the lowest price we were able to find was $350 after calling around and $550 at our regular vet. They also play games and seem to find reasons to turn you down instead of honor there policy. We are not happy and most likely moving on.”

Hi Richard, we understand your concern. Insurance is meant to help you with the unexpected, broken bones, urinary blockages or cancer. Wellness is not insurance, its a benefit meant to help you offset the cost of what you would be spending whether you have insurance or not, so its not going to pay your full bill for these wellness visits.

Hi Philip, we are currently experiencing very high call volumes and appreciate your patience. The quickest way to speak to a live representative is via phone or live chat as these are the priority over emails at this time.

Hi Dimitri, we are sorry to hear you had a negative experience with our customer care team. You are correct, our claims are taking a little longer to process than normal but we are working on reducing the time it takes to process your claims.

“I have eight dogs, four of which are with Pets Best. I totally loved Pets Best in the beginning but now trying to get through to them on the phone is impossible. I am presently on hold and have been holding for over 33 minutes!!! I had to hang up a couple of days ago because I was holding for over 30 minutes so here we go again....I have two claims outstanding for over a month. They sent it to my vet for review 22 days after receiving it, which means it may take an additional 30 days or more to collect payment for an emergency visit for one of my dogs who got bit by a spider. I sent ALL of the physicians notes so I am not sure why they needed anything further. Right now I am very disappointed and we can not keep blaming everything on the virus. Why can't Customer Service Reps answer the phone from home?? Still holding btw; time holding 35:28”

“I appreciate the reimbursement but turnaround time is so poor. I also submitted a pre-authorization form for my dog’s surgery along with all of his records and estimate. Never heard back and never had anyone respond to my email. This was weeks ago. I’m ready to go elsewhere next year.”

“I’m overall very disappointed with Pets Best. The main reason being that we recently moved states and our monthly rate for our 1 year old dog went up by $40/month to a whopping $90. This price is just insane no matter where in the US you live. My other big complaint with Pets Best is their payout times. It has taken upward of 6 weeks after submitting a claim before I was reimbursed. I wouldn’t recommend unless you are okay with paying very high premiums and waiting weeks to be reimbursed.”

Hi emily, you are correct. Rates are based on age, breed, and the cost of care in your location. Moving to a higher priced state will likely increase your monthly rate. However, we have options to reduce the monthly premium. Please contact us so we can go over the available options for lower rates.

“The time it takes to process claims has significantly increased the past 2-years. The time it takes should be 1-week. If this continues I’ll be using another insurance company next year at this time.”

“We have used Pets Best for several years and in the past have been pleased with their customer service and turn around on claims. However, I have been unable to speak with a live person regarding a claim issue since March. We have an issue to be addressed with a recent claim it requires a live chat. Today, I was on hold x 22 minutes and finally just hung up. I have also attempted to speak a person on 2 previous occasions. Very frustrated. Maybe time to look for another more responsive provider of coverage!”

“Made a claim for my dogs emergency and claim for flagged 2x for apparently not having all the paper work when I submitted everything. Then after got that situated then they needed more paper work. I guess to try and see if It was fraud. Whole thing from start to finish took over a month to get it situated.”
