First time to file a claim after 3 years+ with Pets Best. It was so easy and so fast to upload my receipts/claims. Claims explanations were easy to understand and reflected my policy exactly with no run-around, and payment to my bank account took just a few days. I knew when my veterinary specialist recommended Pets Best for my puppy (at the time) that I could absolutely trust them to provide fair coverage and excellent service. I am absolutely satisfied with my choice!
