How to Cancel Pets Best: Complete Guide
What is Pets Best
Pets Best is a pet insurance provider offering accident-only, accident and illness, and optional routine care (wellness) products. The provider offers flexible annual limits, deductible choices and reimbursement levels that let customers tailor cover for dogs and cats; reimbursement options commonly range from 70% to 90% and deductibles from US$50 to US$1,000 in published plan material.
Pets Best markets several tiers for accident and illness cover (commonly called Essential/Plus/Elite or BestBenefit options), plus two routine-care add-ons with different annual benefit caps. Policy documentation and product pages describe optional unlimited annual limits on top tiers and wellness add-ons with set annual benefit totals.
Customer experience: cancellation and feedback
What users report
Public user reports show a mix of positive claims-paying experiences and frequent service friction around account access, processing delays and premium changes. Several recent customer threads describe slow website or app access, long wait times to resolve account issues, and reports of prorated refunds being applied when policies are ended mid-term.
Some customers say claims were handled quickly and refunds processed without dispute; others report multi-week delays, difficulty submitting or tracking claims, and frustration with automated or inconsistent communications. These posts represent user experience snapshots rather than a statistical measure of overall operations.
Recurring issues and practical takeaways
Customers commonly report these recurring themes: proration of refunds after cancellation, service outages affecting online account access, and variable response times for claims and administrative requests. These patterns affect timing and expectations for refunds and outstanding claims.
Practical takeaway: treat each report as guidance on likely interactions rather than a guarantee of outcome. Maintain organised records and expect administration or payment timing to vary.
How cancellations typically affect a Pets Best policy
Cancellation mechanics described in policy forms and third-party reviews show several consistent points: policies generally remain active until a cancellation becomes effective, refunds of unearned premium are commonly handled on a pro rata basis, and some documents note full refunds may be available within an initial short period if no claim has been filed. This is reflected in sample policy provisions and independent reviews.
Billing cycle interaction: if you paid an annual premium up front, insurers commonly calculate unused coverage days and refund the remaining premium pro rata. If you paid monthly, refunds for the current billing period may be limited depending on the policy terms. What this means in practice is that timing matters for the size of any refund.
Cooling-off period: sample policy summaries indicate there can be a short initial period where a full refund is available if no claim has been lodged. After that period refunds are usually prorated and may be affected by any claims already processed. Check the policy schedule for the exact timeframes that apply to your contract.
Claims and cancellations: expenses incurred before the effective cancellation date are typically handled under the policy terms and may still be eligible for reimbursement if they meet the policy conditions. This means that submitting a claim that relates to treatment before cancellation is often treated separately from the administrative act of ending cover.

Feature comparison recap

|---|---|---|
| Reimbursement options | 70%, 80%, 90% | Higher reimbursement raises premium; lower out-of-pocket when claims paid. |
| Deductible range | US$50 - US$1,000 (policy choice) | Higher deductible lowers premium but increases upfront cost at claim time. |
| Annual limits | A$5,000 or unlimited on top tiers | Unlimited option removes annual cap but costs more; affects long-term cost exposure. |
Documentation checklist
- Policy number: policy schedule or membership number from your documents.
- Policy schedule: the document showing your cover types, limits, deductible and effective dates.
- Payment records: bank or card statements showing premium charges and renewal dates.
- Claim references: any claim ID numbers, approval letters or denial notices related to open claims.
- Dates and timelines: effective date of policy, renewal date, date you want cover to end, and dates of relevant vet treatments.
- Medical invoices: itemised veterinary invoices (if disputing a claim or checking preexisting conditions).
- Correspondence log: short timeline of interactions, with dates, brief content and the name of any representative you dealt with.
Common pitfalls and how to protect your rights
Prorated refund surprises: many customers report receiving pro rata refunds with unexpected calculated amounts. This usually stems from how deductibles, co-insurance and billing cycles interact. Ask for a clear refund calculation in writing if you disagree.
Timing and renewals: premium changes can be applied at renewal and may be communicated by post or in policy documents. Review renewal notices carefully and confirm the effective renewal date against your payment cycle.
Claims before and after cancellation: treatment dates matter. If treatment occurred while the policy was active, that treatment is typically judged under the policy terms even if you later end cover. Keep documentary proof of dates for any dispute.
Documentation gaps: lack of itemised invoices or missing claim reference numbers is a common reason for delays or denials. Keep copies of every invoice and a short summary of what each invoice is for.
Disputes, refunds and escalation options
If you believe a refund or claim outcome is incorrect, you have practical options to challenge the decision. Typical responses include requesting a written explanation of the calculation, providing missing documentation, and raising the matter through the insurer’s internal dispute process. Policy forms note pro rata returns of unearned premium and set internal timelines for mailed refunds in some jurisdictions.
If an internal complaint does not resolve the matter, you can escalate to an external financial disputes service that handles insurance matters. External schemes vary by country and membership; allow time for their case assessment and be prepared with your documentation checklist. AFCA handles many insurance disputes in this jurisdiction as an independent external dispute resolution body.
Payment method claims: if a premium was charged after you attempted to end cover and you believe the charge is incorrect, consider discussing a contest with your card issuer under consumer protections for unauthorised or disputed charges. Keep records of your cancellation attempt and any insurer replies.

What to do after cancelling Pets Best
After cancellation, follow these immediate actions: monitor your bank and card statements for any unexpected charges, keep all confirmation documents and claim correspondence, and track outstanding claims and reimbursements against your documentation checklist.
If a refund is due, note the insurer’s stated processing time and follow up if the refund does not arrive within that window; if disputes arise, collect the documentation above and raise the matter through the insurer’s internal dispute process before escalating to an external body. AFCA and consumer legal services can advise on the next formal steps if internal escalation fails.
Finally, consider lining up replacement cover if you need continuous protection for a pet; compare plan limits, deductible structure and exclusions carefully and keep a record of any waiting periods that might apply to new cover. This preserves continuity and minimises gaps in cover.
