“In general, Pets Best is good pet insurance. You can customize your plan, including coverage and payment. They’ve covered everything they should based on the plan. The iPhone app worked great when we first signed up (about 2 years ago), but has had some issues over the last year. It doesn’t keep you logged in and takes way too long to load. I usually go to the website to check on claims. Also, when we first signed up, they processed and paid claims very quickly. Over the last year, it has taken about a month to process each claim.”

“I am generally happy with Pets Best? But I feel that the routine care insurance is way more expensive than it's worth, I had my pet's yearly routine visit. And it's already maxed out my benefits, so I will pay more for the insurance than just the visit would have cost. I was also not thrilled with how long payments take, my other dog has different insurance (which is oddly enough underwritten by the same folks) when I file claims for her I am usually paid within a week where pets best can take a month or more.”

“The Submission process and response to claims is excellent. Rate per month is poor. I haven’t compared other pet insurance carriers at this point but is was very difficult to come up with a maximum amount paid and a deductible and feel like I was actually saving any money when you include the rate per month and what the ins doesn’t cover.”

Hi Kate, thank you for your time and feedback. We understand your concern about affordable coverage. The premium is based on your pet’s age, breed, and the cost of veterinary care in your local zip code area. As pets age, their odds of needing medical care increase, as do the odds this care will be more expensive. Premium changes can occur annually at renewal to balance these age-related health risks with rising medical care needs. If you’d like, we’d be happy to go over your options for reducing your premium. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237. Our phone hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. MT and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MT. Another option is to chat with an agent by logging into our website and clicking the blue chat icon. We look forward to hearing from you if we can be of further assistance and hope you have a great rest of your day. -AS

“They changed how they deal with your claim so it takes longer to reach your deductible. This way they pay you less for your claim.”

Hi Anna Marie, thanks for your time and feedback. Keep in mind all Accident and Illness policies have a Policyholder-chosen copay and deductible that must be met before reimbursing on eligible claims. It is written into our newer underwriter’s Accident and Illness policy that we apply the Policyholder’s chosen Co-Insurance, minus the Policyholder’s chosen Deductible, up to the Annual Limit of the policy. This means, that on an eligible Accident and Illness claim, we apply the Coinsurance percentage first to all eligible line items, and then the Annual Deductible, and what’s remaining is the Reimbursement, up to the Annual Limit of the Policy. That’s because the Policyholder is responsible for the Coinsurance percentage on the entire eligible invoice, even before meeting the Annual Deductible for the policy year. You can find your Policy Information under Documents and Forms in your account on our website and/or reach out with any questions or concerns. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237. Our phone hours are Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. MT and Saturday from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MT.

“I was under the impression that wellness visits were covered, because that’s what the policy said. The insurance covers some, but not all of the wellness visit. I would have been happier if there was more transparency with the coverage. I’m sure it’s covered in some fine print, but I feel like it’s slightly dishonest. Par for the course with pet insurance though.”

Hi Michael, thanks for sharing your thoughts as they are important to us. Our Wellness Endorsements are a set schedule of benefits that are not subject to a deductible or co-pay. Each line item on the schedule is the maximum the policy would pay for that line item for your pet in a policy year. Unfortunately, your pet may use up the benefits quickly depending on what your veterinarian charges for their services. You can find your Wellness Schedule under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. We appreciate your feedback, as it assists us in working towards improved customer satisfaction. We hope you have a good day. -AS

Hi Linda, thank you for your time and feedback. We understand your concern about affordable coverage. Premium increases can happen at your renewal or your anniversary date with us. That’s when we consider your pet to be a year older. The premium at renewal is not based on the claims you’ve submitted, but it is based on your pet’s age, breed, and the cost of veterinary care in your local zip code area. As pets age, their odds of needing medical care increase, as do the odds this care will be more expensive. Premium changes can occur annually at renewal to balance these age-related health risks with rising medical care needs. If you’d like, we’d be happy to go over your claim and coverage concerns with you. You can contact our Customer Care Team by calling (877) 738-7237.

“I’ve been a customer 2 years now. My first annual premium increase was a few dollars,(expected). However, this year my increase was exponential, approximately $16 per month! That’s crazy in my opinion. I understand premiums are based off other people’s claims as well as mine, but $16 monthly is insane when you consider $45 to $61! Monthly. I’m not getting any more coverage for my dog, just a much higher premium. I think it’s time to shop around and I encourage you to do the same.”
