Claims Review

"I filed an online claim with PetsBest for my dog's eye surgery. He had two cherry eye conditions repaired. I filed about a week after the surgery on a Friday afternoon. Within an hour or so I received email confirmation of my claim. By Sunday I received a detailed explanation of benefits summary explaining how my claim was handled. All of my claim went to either my co-payment or to my deductible. I fully expected that based on the coverage I selected and am paying for. I am completely satisfied with PetsBest in this instance, and I'll go on to say that all my claims over the past two years I've been covered have been handled in the same professional way. I would like to see the PetsBest EOB give me the total amount of my deductible I have reached after each claim, but that is not a dealbreaker given all the positives.

Our dog had to get knee surgery. We provided Pet's Best with the detailed bill for the surgery and drugs and we were reimbursed in less than a week

Easy Claim Process

It was very easy to submit the claim by taking pictures of the paperwork with my phone and sending them through the app. It did take a while to get a response but it may have been due to getting paperwork from the vet. Overall I am happy with the process
