Pets Best Pet Health Insurance Reviews 6,118

I really appreciate the ease of submitting my claims and the quick reimbursement process. I also appreciate that when a claim is delayed, they reach out to you and apologize for the delay and give you an update. Great customer service.

I had trouble logging on to the iPhone app. once i did i could make my claim for reimbursement easily. however, i could not access the account info nor history. I was able to access my account via the website on my pc. I just feel the process was clunky and frustrating.

PetsBest has always been an amazing insurance company to have. When I started having health issues with my pup the last thing I had to worry about was coverage. Their customer service is also A+. I have referred them to all my family and friends. Thank you for making hard times less stressful.

The APP does not work smoothly. I like the convenience of the APP, but the APP is not always working. I recently submitted a claim and I kept receiving a message that there was a problem submitting my claim to try again, which I did. It took about 5-6 times to get the claim to go through. The next day I received about 5-6 emails indicating that I submitting the claim, which gave the appearance that I was submitting the claim multiple times, when the APP only accepted once. Other times the APP is down and not working.

Virtually all of my claims denied to to assumption of pre-existing condition. I will appeal based on the actual facts and will see if Pets Best honors the claims.

Claims that were paid were deposited into the wrong bank account even though the correct information appears in my on-line account.

Quick and easy submission and claim payments. Couldn't be happier with their service for both of my dogs.

This is the second year that I have had this insurance and find now that with the deductible there is really no benefit compared to other pet insurances. Lot better plans that cover pet needs. Most likely will not renew with this plan next year and go with another plan

Horrible claims processing. Constantly promise they are on it and constantly do not deliver. Total waste of money. AVOID this company. They are worthless!

Pets Best insurance has been great for us and our younger dog. I cannot be happier with the ease of filing the claims and the speed at which they are processed. Wish we had had it with our previous dogs!

Our experience with Pets Best health insurance has been consistently disappointing. Each claim we have submitted has required an appeal due to what appeared to be inaccurate or inconsistent initial evaluations. This recurring issue has made the process unnecessarily time-consuming and frustrating.

A major concern is the lack of consistency in claim assessments. Decisions seem to vary depending on the reviewer, leading to outcomes that feel subjective rather than based on clear, standardized criteria. In many cases, the initial denials have not appeared justified, requiring additional effort on our part to correct them.

Additionally, the overall lack of transparency has been challenging. Certain policy limitations and exclusions were not clearly communicated upfront, which has made it difficult to understand coverage and anticipate claim outcomes. This has created the impression of “hidden” policies that only become apparent after a claim is denied.

Due to these ongoing issues—specifically the cumbersome claims process, inconsistent evaluations, and lack of clarity around coverage—I would not choose Pets Best again and cannot recommend their services.

We’ve used them for years for our two dogs. It’s been pricey, but worthwhile for us. We’ve used it for numerous ER visits and surgeries with quick turnaround times.

I submitted my claim for a medication and it came back denied and stated not on their list. They had reimbursed for this liver medication before and it is on their list. I called and it took me 40 minutes to get a human on the telephone that said it had been denied in error and she would resubmit for a HUMAN to reevaluate. I submitted the claim on March 1,2026 and just got email stating I was being reimbursed on April 14,2026. The amount of time you are on hold for a human to answer in customer service is HORRIBLE. A month and half for a claim is even worse. I loved Pets Best when I first got it 8 years ago but now if not for the pre existing to switch I would definitely switch companies.

I am disabled senior displaced from new home due to environmental, biohazardous debris in studio apt for 1 mo and counting, canceled PuppySpot delivery and failed to cancel Pet's Best insurance. Many health and habibility issues persist. Pet's Best will only reimburse me for 1 month due to their rigid 30 day cancellation policy. PB website is ADA non-compliant and operator has no phone number for me to escalate my request for the 1 more month of reimbursement. This presents 1 more violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Inaccessibility, inflexibile rules, rigid rip-off, very poor customer service is a serious RED FLAG for pet owners with disabilities.

So thankful for Pets Best! We recently had a scary moment with our youngest kitty and it was an expensive few days. Knowing Pets Best was there to help us cover the costs made it possible for us to keep our focus where it mattered: on our kitty and NOT on finances.

Thank you!

Pets Best used to be amazing, but the past couple of years, things just don't seem to be the same quality. First, the website and app constantly have issues. Almost every time I uploaded a claim, they would say they needed an itemized receipt, even though I had already uploaded. I would have to re-upload the exact same document, but it was only after I highlighted the areas that they said were missing from the original upload that they would say the document showed what they needed. (mind you, these were things that could easily be found, like the date of purchase, the dog's name, the medication, and the total price.) For the past at least 6 months, I've had to update every claim I've submitted, "due to not attaching an itemized receipt." The thing is, I've already uploaded the receipt every time. There is some sort of glitch. At first I thought it was the app, so I started using the website, but it's still happening. Reimbursements take way longer than they used to. And, my 11 year old's insurance premium jumped by an exorbitant amount this year compared to the increases in previous year, despite him being very healthy, other than some allergies. Also, they are very hard to get in touch with. The chat box on the website frequently says the wait is too long and that you need to call the number instead.

Buying insurance from Pets Best seemed like a good idea and, like all insurance companies- I guess-
turned out to be more of a money maker for Pets Best than the insured. I didn't like that the monthly premium kept going up- automatically, each year as if it should be an accepted way for insurance companies to do business. Like they were owed that increase regardless of pay outs.

Anyway, ultimately, I ran the numbers for me from March '25 to March '26- during which there was another premium increase in July. My total payout for insurance and vet bills was $2325. This included my dog's annual wellness check up and two visits. The total covered and paid by Pets Best was $251! Had I just put money into an interest bearing account for Vet stuff I would have saved $1187. Maybe this doesn't seem like much but it adds up!

I know that the reason insurance is bought is the fear of some big Vet bill- which, I guess, could happen. It's a roll of the dice. However, had I just put money aside for Vet stuff instead of giving it to Pets Best, I estimate that I would have close to seven or eight thousand in the bank at this time.

Overall we had a negative experience with Pets Best insurance. It took about 5-6 weeks to process our very simple claim for a pet injury. There were instances when Pets Best said that they were missing documents when they had been in fact sent (I could see dates in my emails) and received by Pets Best. I had to make multiple calls to get representatives to double check everything. We could not count on their systems to do what they were supposed to do automatically. Then the representatives said there were problems with filetypes. Who is 2026 still has problems opening pdf's? We sent the filetype they requested but they still had technical problems on their end. After many calls, many emails, and many uploads to make sure that they were doing things correctly, the claim was able to move forward. We had to advocate to get expedited processing after all the chaos. Ultimately, for the cost of Pets Best, there was so much handholding we had to do for Pets Best employees to do their job, that it's really not worth it. We look forward to switching insurers in the future.

BEWARE. Know what you are doing before you do it. I have never had pet insurance. This was the first time ever. My wife made an appointment for the dog. Took the dog to the vet. Filed the claim and it was denied. WHY? Because the owner info on the invoice was in my wife's name since she made the appointment. Having never had pet insurance, it never occurred to me that the bill had to be in MY name. And, Pets Best does not make that IMPORTANT fact clear on their site. Some user error here, I know. But that is something they should make clear on the site.

Thought I would get more of a reimbursement for spay procedure.

This is the first time I've purchased pet and wellness insurance and I'm a senior citizen. I'm glad I did since my new puppy has had multiple visits to vets here in Hawaii for a suspicious lump. She even had to have a specialist ultrasound. Pets Best has paid for everything as expected, usually in a timely manner. Just be sure you use a vet that is willing to provide and fax/email all medical records when asked. That is normally the only thing that delays payment. I finally asked my vet for a copy of my dog's full medical record. Now every time we have a visit I ask for an update on the records. That way I can just send it to the insurance company myself and not make them ask the vet to them. It really speeds the process up. As long as PB gets the right paperwork they pay quickly.
