My Frenchie with IVDD

This was the second time I have needed to file a claim for my Frenchie, Twinkie who was diagnosed with IVDD. She underwent surgery both times and the claim process was seamless and reimbursement was quick. I am thankful to Pets Best for helping me save my Twinkie.

Transparent and Responsive

After providing the invoice and separate proof of payment for my dog’s surgery, Pet’s Best emailed me in a few days an itemized explanation of benefits explaining the coverage and reimbursement. I received reimbursement less than a week after the document was issued. Pet insurance isn’t cheap, which makes it even more important for things to work right when I need it.
