The customer service aspect of your…

The customer service aspect of your business needs more attention. I recieved a notification of a rejected claim (it was inadvertently duplicated) before i was notified the original claim was honored. When i called your office it was closed for a 'team build'. I left a message which was never returned. Subsequently, i was left worried for days if my claim would be paid. The claim took almost a month to process, which led to me having to pay interest on the credit card account i used to pay the bill. The premiums are sufficient to warrant much higher level of customer attention.

They came through when we need them the most...

If you're looking for fast claims processing insurance company, I'm sure there are other insurers out there that can process claims quicker. But...if you're like me, and you want a fair and honest insurer that stands behind their promises, I recommend that you consider Pet's Best as a top contender. I have a ~ 1.5 year old Great Pyrenees mix that was adopted back in April 2019. With the exception of a few minor issues, he was healthy and growing. Unfortunately he was recently diagnosed with a patella luxation (floating knee cap) injury and may need surgery. Clearly I wanted to get a few credible opinions, but along the way, he needed meds, x-rays, etc. Pet's Best did need to get additional details from my vet ahead of processing the claim. Yes...it did take longer than I would have liked, but in the end, they covered the majority of his bills. As a new member, I have to say that even in follow-up with them, they have been courteous and informative. But most important, they care about their customers and it shows. I would recommend them seriously...

Sad

Sad when you have been sending documents since March and it's November and still no resolution. But when it was time to pay my policy they took my money right away. I am so disappointed.
