Great claim process

Claims are super simple to submit. You can easily track the status online and I got a decision in about a week, in some cases faster. I was also paid out quickly and was happy with everything that was covered.

Pet Insurance Review

The Annual Fee Amount is nearly $1400.00. The total percent reimbursed of an Annual (Preventative) Physical less Annual Deductible is 10%. This Plan is supposed to cover everything plus all the bells and whistles. Seems like their overhead costs and profit margins are skewed.

The Best for Pets

I've had 2 dogs covered by Pets Best and they were phenomenal. They spent time answering any questions I had and they were very responsive. If it wasn't for the insurance, I wouldn't have had 14 more months with my 1st dog. The day I brought my new new puppy home, I already had him covered. Im really happy with Pets Best and I recommend them to everyone.
