Petplan’s one simple plan covers physical therapy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy and chiropractic care all at no extra charge.
Pets Best does not cover any of these things—unless you pay extra.
With Petplan, there’s no limit to the number of claims you can submit after your 15-day waiting period has passed.
Pets Best will cover the first injury, but not the second one in 18 months if it's caused by repetitive behavior.
With Petplan, the complete sick visit and treatment are covered in our one simple plan.
Unless you pay more to upgrade your plan, Pets Best does not cover exam fees. This could cost you an extra $50 to $250 per vet visit.
Petplan protects all of your pet’s teeth (every adult tooth—not just the canines) from accidents, illnesses, injuries and diseases with no broad condition exclusions.
Pets Best’s limited dental coverage only includes canine and carnassial teeth, and endodontic treatment (like root canals).
Almost a third (20-27%) of canine patients have fractured teeth, and in cats, resorptive lesions can be as high as 68% prevalence—Pets Best’s coverage won’t protect your pets from all of these conditions.
With Petplan, just show us that your pet's knees are healthy and you're covered.
If you have Pets Best, you have to wait 180 days for coverage on your pet’s knees even if they’re certified as healthy. If your pet’s knees get hurt during that time, you’re paying for the entire bill.
We’re not just here for your pet—should you require hospitalization for 4 days or more, we’ll cover up to $1,000 of your pet’s boarding fees.
Pets Best doesn’t cover this, so you’ll need to find someone to take care of your pet or incur expensive boarding fees.
