I am pleased

I am pleased with Pets Best wellness plan. I filed a claimed for getting my dog neutered and microchipped. I was completely reimbursed for both things. Filing was incredibly easy and review of my claim and reimbursement was quick!

Went smoothly

First time I made a claim after having insurance with them for 6 years. It went smoothly, and was paid for as expected. I did recently reduce my coverage though due to large hikes in yearly cost. So got back about 50%.

Best Decision I Ever Made!!

Being new to the whole pet insurance thing I was a little hesitant but after much research I found Pets Best to be the company with the best coverage and at a reasonable price. The claim process has been very easy and painless. I am informed of the status at all times and payment is prompt. Best decision I ever made!

Love PB

I knew after my last cat who died from cancer and all those vet bills I should look into pet insurance for my next cat. Well I opted for two kittens and immediately I searched for pet insurance. I was skeptical, I admit. I found pets best and they seemed to provide more than some others like the wellness program. I signed up. A few days later I take the kittens to their first vet appointment and submit a wellness claim. That was Tuesday, it's now Friday of the same week and I already have my reimbursement in my bank! I am absolutely thrilled! Unless something drastically changes going forward, I am sold, convinced and no longer skeptical. Love pets best!
