Perks and Benefits

Every Pets Best customer can access these benefits:

• • Direct Vet Pay: Customers can opt-in to have their covered claims paid out directly to their chosen vet hospital. If your pet gets sick or hurt, there’s no need to drain your checking account or max out your credit card: Pets Best has your back.
  • 24/7 Vet Hotline: Have a pet question? Access to a 24/7 veterinary hotline is included with every coverage option, meaning you can have your questions answered quickly and accurately.
  • Short Waiting Period: Accident coverage kicks in only three days after the Policy Effective Date, a full 11 days shorter than most competitors.

Coverage Limitations

Pets Best coverage is narrowed by some limitations:

• • Pre-Existing Conditions: Pets Best insurance does not cover an illness, injury, or other medical problem that has an onset before the completion of the 14-day waiting period.
  • Waiting Period: For most plans, coverage does not begin until the waiting period is complete. For accidents, the waiting period is 3 days; for illnesses, the waiting period is 14 days. Waiting periods begin after the Policy Effective Date.
  • Elective and Preventive Procedures: Only a limited number of preventive procedures can be covered with the Essential Wellness add-on.
  • Parasites: Limited coverage is available for parasite prevention via the Essential Wellness add-on.
  • Non-veterinary expenses, food, special diets, vitamins/supplements
