Overall good

Overall I liked that you can easily submit claims online via the app and upload a photo of the documentation. I also like the 24/7 helpline included with the coverage. I would give it 5 stars if the claim processing time was faster.

No Hassle Direct Deposit for Pet's Accidental Ingestion

Dog ingested a bunch of small plushy toys and string. Two got stuck and needed surgery on their stomach/intestine. Had the cheapest plan which was accident only insurance which covers accidental ingestion. Total bill came out to be $13K which Pet's Best covered $10K of it (policy yearly maximum) which they direct deposited to me with no hassle. Just had to upload the invoice and wait a month.

Can't say enough good things about Pets…

Can't say enough good things about Pets Best, I have 3 dogs covered with them at 90% coverage $1,000 deductible their premium is so reasonable! Recently one dog needed his 1st of 2 ACL surgeries they were quick to review, approve the claims and quick reimbursement after co-pay. Customer service is fantastic! Everyone that I've ever spoke to is so helpful, polite and friendly. Highly recommended!
