Amazing customer service

Amazing customer service. recently had to file a claim for my pet . Claim was handled quickly and they were very fair with the charges. I am super impressed and would definitely recommend this company. Policy prices were low compared to others I looked at.

I have a new policy and also purchased…

I have a new policy and also purchased the Best Wellness plan. I submitted my claim for a wellness appointment that also included vaccines. The claim was processed in 3 days. I am waiting for the reimbursement to be added to my banking account. The next day I had to submit a sick claim. It's only been 3 days. I am waiting to hear on that claim

so far dissapointed

so far, not good rating! it says they take 5 days to process claim, i have heard nothing from them and it has been 13 days. Our dog collapsed with a seizure and we rushed him to emergency vet who ran blood work, other test, cardio etc and we paid over $1500 diagnosed with valley fever and now on expensive monthly med that vet said may last up to 24 months. still no word from pets best. very dissapointed in their service. we have been with them a year, and i noticed this year, jan 2020 the premium was raised on all 3 of our dogs, we have a 90/10 policy with a $1000 deductible on each. Our pets are family, so we will always insure them and take care of them, but we are going to seek quotes from other pet insurance providers after this.
