Pets Best Dog Insurance does not limit your dog’s insurance protection to the United States and Canada as do many plans, but extends this coverage worldwide. In addition to the usual standard treatments available at your veterinarian, Pets Best Dog Insurance also covers such alternative treatments as chiropractic procedures, acupuncture, and holistic medicine. You will find that emergency, after hours treatment is also covered.

As with nearly all insurance plans, there are exclusions at Pets Best Dog Insurance. Pre-existing conditions are not covered. Also, if the dog’s policy is purchased after its second birthday, then hereditary conditions are not covered, whereas up to 2 years they are. Likewise, Pets Best will not cover congenital conditions. Parasites and diseases that could be prevented (ie distemper or rabies) with vaccines are not covered. Elective procedures such as tail docking and dental cleaning are not covered by this insurance company with any of the basic plans.

Pets Best Dog Insurance offers 3 insurance plans for your dog. Unlike many insurance dog companies, the covered conditions are the same for all three plans. The difference lies in the cost of the policy per month, the Lifetime Limit, and the Per Incident Limit. All of Pets Best three plans cover 80% of veterinary expenses. The deductible ranges from $100 to $500, depending on the decision of the dog owner.

The three plans offered by Pets Best Dog Insurance are: Pets Basic Plan, Pets First Plan, and Pets Premier Plan. By using this insurance company, you can choose your own veterinarian, you will never be assigned a medical provider for your dog. The plans cover all accidents and injuries including emergencies, surgery, treatment for illnesses, laboratory tests, and prescription medicine. The illnesses and medical conditions covered by Pets Best include outpatient care, hospitalization, cancer treatment and care, lab tests, diagnostics, x-rays, CAT scans and MRI.

Specialist care for your dog provides holistic care, acupuncture, emergency veterinarians, ophthalmologists, and dermatologists.

The Pets Basic Plan begins at $19.20 per month, Pets First Plan at $34.79 per month, and Pets Premier Plan at $45.61 monthly. A quote will be provided by the company depending on your dog’s age, breed, and whether your dog has been spayed or neutered. The above figures were based on quotes for a healthy, young, intact male dog. Your costs may differ.

The Best Wellness Routine Care Option can also be added for an additional cost. This option provides more protection for your dog and covers wellness exams, dental cleaning, vaccinations, and spaying or neutering. The Best Wellness Care Option begins at $22.00 per month. It should be remembered that this is in addition to the basic policy you have purchased.

To file a claim, the claim form should be downloaded, filled out by you, and then signed by you and your veterinarian. The form can then be mailed or faxed to the company. The claim will be processed within ten business days. As is usually the case with dog insurance, you will be reimbursed by Pets Best Dog Insurance after paying your veterinarian.

PET and DOG INSURANCE REVIEWS

Every year, thousands of families bring their pets along on their vacations. Some feel as if their pets are part of their families, and don’t want to leave them behind. For others, there is simply no one at home to watch the pet, no funds available for boarding, or the trip was a spur-of-the-moment plan and there was no time to consider anything else except to bring the pet along.

Of course before you head out the door with your pet, there are some things to consider like accommodations, because not all hotels, motels, campgrounds and other lodgings accepts pets. So go through this checklist before you hit the road so you don’t have to leave your cat or dog in an unsafe environment.

Do Some Research & Confirmation Work

Check popular campground guidebooks, hotel, motel and other lodge listing research work to see which places accept pets. Then call ahead to confirm, as most print publications went to press at least a year ahead of time, and places may have changed hands or ownership status along with their pet policies. Find out if the location charges extra per night, plus if there are deposits and if there are any size requirements (for example, do they accept large dogs).

Portable Pet Kennels

Many pets ride fine in automobiles. However, some do not. Plus you may be traveling part way by airplane, bus or other means, and not only that, once you reach your destination, pet kennels turn into pet beds, making safe havens for your furry friends each night away from home. So you might want to check out portable pet kennels.

For airline travel with pets, call ahead to the specific airlines you’ll be using for exact details and requirements for traveling with pets. On some fights, you need to have given your animal food and water roughly 2 hours before take off, so you’ll want to check for exact details to see what your pet will need and the size carrier that’s allowed, etc. Some smaller ones for cats and small dogs may be allowed under the seat, so ask.

Fido’s Belongings

When you are vacationing with your cat or dog, pack a favorite toy or two, blanket or pillow, and any special things it may need, just as you would your own. Don’t forget some pet food, of course, plus some snacks or treats. And if your pet may need medication of any kind, bring along any medicines and / or any pet vitamins, etc. that might be needed. And as an added precaution, bring along the phone number of your vet, in case there is an emergency.
