My service date was in February and I…over 6 weeks and still no payment?

My service date was in February and I have yet to receive a payment? They did send a explanation of payment which ended up being a tad more than half. While I’m dissappointed, something is better than nothing!

Very thankful to have Pets Best

I am so thankful to have pet insurance! My dog recently got diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. She needed an emergency mri due to her brain becoming swollen and she lost the ability to move. If we had waited she would not have made it through the weekend. If it wasn't for Pets Best I'm not sure how I would have afforded the procedure. They've allowed me to save my best friend. They've been super easy to work with and reimbursements come in a timely fashion. I recommended them to anyone looking into getting insurance for their pet.

Awesome peace of mind!

We had a scare with our puppy who had eaten something and got a blockage. The bet needed bloodwork, x-rays, and a day of observation. Knowing I had Pets Best gave me some comfort. Filing my claim was quick and easy and reimbursement came in a timely manner.
