Highly Recommend Pets Best Insurance

"I have been with Pets Best Insurance for the past 21+ years. They have covered 3 of my dogs for various health situations. Having insurance for your pet makes it easier to make the best decisions for the care of your pet. Their claims process is very easy and they respond in a timely manner to inform you of the decision on your claim as well as payout is timely. My family appreciates the service received by Pets Bets Insurance and share with our friends about our positive history with Pets Best as soon as they have a pet that needs insurance. "

Urgent Care

"My schnauzer recently underwent an urgent care vet visit. Since multiple systems were involved, it was a little difficult to decide what to pick from the pick-list, but the opportunity to detail the problems in my own terms was helpful. Response was immediate. From notification of we've received your claim to your claim is being processed to here's your EOB to your money has been deposited in your account took a week maybe. I found that fantastic. Thanks PetsBest!"

My poor dog had get emergency vet visit…

My poor dog had get emergency vet visit we thought the insurance but every step im the way they were being difficult we submitted all documents from vet and keep deny because "its new vet" like what we submitted the old vet documents but you need documents from his new vet plus a year form them but that his new vet his record will show that day he visits so their agents would deny those documents even though myself and the vets submitted them. Going file a complaint to Department of Insurance about this process. Horrible customer service

Tests and Procedures with Less Stress

When my girl was found to have elevated liver enzymes during lab work that was not expected- I was stressed about what would need to be done. My veterinarians have been able to continue testing and recently perform a biopsy to move forward to determine next steps and treatment options. PetsBest has processed my claims quickly and accurately resulting in less stress to me for the financial impact. Having the insurance with a trusted company is a benefit I cannot imagine not having.
