“Had to enquire about my claim a month after it was submitted. Renewal went up $75/month after the first year with only 1 claim between 3 dogs.”

Hi Jayme, thank you for your time and feedback. 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. We appreciate your feedback, as it assists us in working towards improved customer satisfaction. We hope you have a good day. -AS

“Claims take a really long time to process. If they are small claims, it’s usually 3-4 weeks. We have had several large claims this year and those take 2-4 months. It definitely makes us shy away from submitting and being out large amounts of money is really rough while waiting for the claim to process. Our other dog has insurance through a different company and all of our claims have been processed either on the spot (within seconds) or the next business day.”

“Honestly a little surprised how slow the claims process took to be paid. It's over a month since I've submitted a claim and I've heard nothing back besides it's "in process". It shouldn't take this long. I'll be switching providers.”

Hi Emily, thanks for sharing your thoughts as they are important to us. We regret to hear that you’re ready to cancel your pet’s policy. 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 Richard, thanks for your time and feedback. We continually strive to deliver the best experience and apologize if any of your experiences with us have fallen short of that.

You can find your Policy Information under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. If you’d like, we’d be happy to go over your claim and coverage concerns with you. However, we are unable to go over specific information here, so you’ll need to contact us either by phone or by chat, so we can verify your information on a recorded line.

“The funds I've paid in monthly premiums for the 13 plus years that I've insured my pets, came to more than their medical bills in most cases, by thousands of dollars per pet. The pets that I did use insurance to reimburse medical bills for, the insurance coverage limits kept me from being able to afford the full medical treatment recommended. Some very necessary and helpful treatments were not covered. My pets declined. It was very sad. PetsBest is extremely slow at reimbursing, usually it's 40 days, after I've already spent the money, and gotten the receipts uploaded in their system. It takes quite a lot of time to do all that too. Some of the customer service people are kind, some are jerks. When your pet is suffering and you're striving to help your beloved, it's no time for a snotty attitude from an insurance rep. Putting the forms online is not too hard, but it does require a good deal of administration. And once you do, it's not that clear to me how the system works. I used to recommend to everyone that they get pet insurance and I'd mention PetsBest, but now that I've had to use it, I don't recommend it anymore.”

“I got the max coverage for my dog including wellness. They cover very little. They take a long time to pay out. I had Nationwide in the past and they were much better. They also were raising their premium by almost 20%. Not sure how that would be justified but i'll probably go back to Nationwide.”

Hi Greg, thanks for your time and feedback. We regret to hear you're unhappy with your policy so far. Unfortunately, in order to provide affordable coverage for our pet parents, any condition that shows signs or symptoms prior to the policy start date or during the policy waiting periods is not covered by the policy. Our Accident and Illness policy waiting periods are 3 days for Accidents, 14 days for Illnesses, and 6 months for Cruciate Ligament events. These waiting periods start from the effective date of the policy. If the condition is not coverable, then the diagnostics and treatments are not covered for that condition. You can find your Policy Information under Documents and Forms in your account on our website. If you’d like to discuss the specifics of your claim, we'd be happy to assist.

“I find them extremely slow in processing claims along with huge price increases. We've made only a couple of claims during the 4 year terms of our policies. Both fell within deductibles and no payments were made. Both were for minor illnesses. And yet Pets Best took 4-6 weeks to process the claims. And the yearly policy for EACH dog went from the $400+ range to the $650+ yearly cost. Massive increase. I doubt I'll refer them.”
