Great Experience

The process was so simple: I uploaded a copy of the paid invoice and the completed a short description of the services received. Within a day or two I received an email saying that the services were approved and the next week I received a check. Easy peasy and this takes away so much of the sticker shock that can come with veterinary care.

I do not like that you expect a receipt. Get it from the provider

Great experience so far

"I recently signed my new puppy up for pets best because I was previously using Odie for my cat and I have had nothing but horrible experiences with them. They have poor communication and their claims take months unless you email with a complaint, then they expedite it. I have had such an amazing experience with my first claim for my puppy that I've now added my cat on too, and plan on cancelling Odie. I received communication before my claim was processed letting me know that there may be a delay in processing, but it only took about 2-3 weeks for them to process.
