Pets best is the best

Pets best is the best. We got all of our claims reimbursed. We started our insurance the very same day our pup arrived home at 7 weeks. They take some time to get to your claim. I don’t remember the max wait time for me as I never worried about it. All I cared about was if I got my reimbursement as per my plan. I can say roughly 3 - 4 weeks and sometime less than 2 weeks. They are the best in the market in the scope of things they cover for price you pay. I feel they reimburse almost everything unless it is pre exiting I would 100% recommend pets best

I had a great experience!

I had a great experience! The review and processing did take a bit longer than I was expecting, but they did reach out to let me know that they were backed up on claims. Once they fully processed it though, they sent me a very detailed itemized list of what they were paying for and what my expenses were and the deposit didn’t take long at all.
