If you have ever owned a pet and have had a problem with Pets Best insurance, you know it's an awful experience. The company's customer service reps are trained to tell you that you can't appeal their decisions. It will be impossible for you to reach another rep and it will almost certainly make it illegal to appeal their decisions. Find out what I experienced while dealing with Pets Best’s pet insurance.
Pre-existing conditions coverage
If you've purchased pet insurance, but have heard about the exclusions, it's worth considering a different plan. Pre-existing conditions cannot be covered. Pet insurance is there to protect you from those risks that are beyond your control. A policy that does not cover flood damage six months ago will not pay for repairs.
You can include pre-existing conditions in the category of past wellness treatment. These can be similar to pre-existing condition, but you will need to make sure that your pet was properly treated at least 18 month prior to their first enrollment date. You can also have pre-existing conditions such as IVDD, chronic diseases, and bilateral problems. These costs would be covered by a policy that covers preventive services.
Wellness coverage
Optimum Wellness Plans are a great way to ensure your pet's safety. These affordable veterinary preventive healthcare packages are meant to improve your pet’s overall health. Unlike pet insurance policies that require a deductible or copayment, OWPs don't have an annual maximum payment. Instead, they offer a package of services that can keep your pet healthy all year. OWPs can also offer preventive care that isn't covered by standard insurance.
Although some wellness plans sound great, they are mostly useless if your pet needs extensive medical care. The GEICO-sponsored wellness add on funds a pet insurance account. It does not have a deductible. There is also no waiting period. The policy provides access to whiskerDocs 24/7, which allows pet owners and veterinarians to communicate with each other.
For wellness plans, there are certain waiting periods
Before purchasing an insurance policy for your pet's health, you should consider the waiting period. Many policies will only cover certain conditions once the waiting period is over. However, some policies might not. Most insurance policies won't cover pre-existing condition until they are diagnosed. Some cases may have a waiting period of only two to 10 business days. A plan with a shorter waiting duration may be the best option.
Some plans require waiting periods. This could be six months for cruciate or ligament issues, or one year for injuries. Others will waive waiting periods entirely or reduce them. To find out the exact waiting period for your pet, check with your insurance company. If your vet diagnoses your pet as having a serious condition, some insurers will waive or reduce the waiting period. You can then use your insurance to pay for the vet’s services immediately.

How to Make Your Pet Happy
Pet owners often wonder what they can do to make their pets happy. Many pet owners buy treats, toys, and even clothes. However, pets might not enjoy certain things. For example, some dogs cannot stand to wear sweaters.
Try to understand why your pet doesn't love it before you buy it. You may discover that he just likes different kinds of foods than you do. He might even hate shoes.
You can also play games with your pet. You can play with a ball, or a frisbee. You can throw it around the room. You can also throw it into the air and let him chase it. You both will have a lot of fun playing this game. It's enjoyable and relaxing.
A good idea would be to give your pet an occasional bath once or twice a week. Bathing your pet helps get rid of dead skin cells. He will also enjoy a nice smelling bath.
It's also important to keep your pet healthy. Don't allow him to eat junk foods. Do not allow him to eat junk food. Instead, give him high-quality food. He should also get plenty of exercise. Go outside and take him to play fetch or for a walk.
Your pet will love spending time with you. In fact, pets are more comfortable being with their owners than living alone.
And finally, remember to love your pet unconditionally. Never yell at him. Be patient with the boy. Don't leave him unattended.
