Took Too Long!

This whole process just took too long in my opinion. From Oct 28 to Dec. 10 TOO LONG!

PetsBest is the best!

Pets Best insurance follows through with exactly what they say they will, and has excellent coverage. With a previous dog, I used another insurance company that didn't cover much, and I found that out after a hefty vet bill that wasn't reimbursed. With Pets Best, I was confident in choosing surgery for my current dog, knowing that it would be covered 90%. This is a tremendous relief and I'm glad I was able to provide my dog with the best care. I would recommend Pets Best over any other pet insurer.

Direct deposited fast

My dog Francesca needed the Bordatella vaccine. We went to the clinic at Petco to get it. I was able to quickly take a photo of my receipt from our visit and submit my claim to Pets Best right from my phone. My reimbursement was directly deposited into my account about a week or two later.

Thank Heaven for Pets Best!

I have had Labs all my life. 13 to be exact. I have never had pet insurance before Helen. Her name is Helen Wheels. And she is. Just gets herself in scrapes and eats the wrong things. After a few very expensive bills (ate a bottle of pills and ate a squeaky toy = surgery), I decided to get Pets Best pet insurance. Now I have peace of mind. Helen somehow got into our bacon grease. Ate a big can of it. In lots of pain. Emergency vet. Big bill. Dog saved. But I filed my very first claim. So easy. Got the bulk of my money back. I am a converted believer!!! Thank you. Pets Best! - Robin, CA
