Best Insurance for my Fur Babies

I can't say enough about how great Pets Best is! Having 3 medium/large sibling that loves to run and play. Accidents are prone to happen, and sure enough. Knowing that I have insurance for all 3, truly puts my mind at ease. In fact, I upgraded and included the wellness policy. The best decision I ever made was to adopt my 3 fur babies, 2nd best decision was to get Pets Best insurance for my babies. I've done my homework before making a decision on a company, and by far Pets Best offers the best deal! Reimbursement may at times be delayed, but knowing that I'll be getting it I don't worry. You can email updates and you can even check online.

Long processing time, but good overall

I experienced over a month in processing my claim, but when it was processed I found the explanation of benefits to be helpful and consistent with my expectations.

A very reliable company

Processing time has gotten really slow once again (at least one month), but they always come through in the end. Excellent communication.

Best insurance at an affordable price and easy to process claims!

I started researching pet insurance companies after my dog had her front leg amputated. Pet's Best was friendly and answered all my questions about the different types of policies and they didn't need any prior records to sign my dog up. When I had to submit a few claims they were professional and helped me through the process. All claim refunds came back to me as direct deposit, which is so convenient. I would definitely recommend Pet's Best to all my friends and family.
