Excellent claims processing

Pets Best claims are submitted easily through the app and most are processed quickly! I recently had to submit 3 claims within a week of each other. I received an email determination within a week of each submission and the money was direct deposited to my account a few days later. I’m happy that i’ve had Pets Best continuously for my dog since he was 8 weeks old.

Excellent Insurance

Before we got our present puppy we decided we would have insurance for her. Vet bills have become so expensive now. I spent days researching all the different insurance policies available and decided Pets Best was the best one for us. Chrissy is now 2 and 1/2 years old and we got insurance on her right from the start. We have never regretted our choice. Pets Best helps with yearly exams, lab work, vaccinations, flea and tick medicine, dental as well as catastrophic bills. Dental was especially important to me because she is a Maltese-Yorkie and later in life their teeth and gums become horrible. It’s so easy to file a claim. You take a photo of your invoice and send it with your claim and 3-4 days later Pets Best deposits your money straight into your checking account. It couldn’t be easier. You also get your EOB through your email and it’s very easy to read. We are very happy with Pets Best. This insurance is correctly named!
