Fast and easy process

"It was my dogs annual wellness exam, vaccinations, and flea/tick refill. Post appointment, I went to the app, answered a few questions, took/uploaded a picture of the bill/receipt and hit submit. It's such an easy process! And within 1 week, my money was deposited into my bank account"

Very fast claim processing

I have had Pets Best for my last several dogs with varying levels of coverage. My current pet has mild IBD that is managed by frequent feedings and a very small dose of anti-nausea medication at night (so we can sleep through the night). The company that auto-ships the medication does not send invoices, but packing slips. So, to file a claim, I must first contact them to get invoices for every shipment. As a result, I procrastinate until the last minute. My most recent clam was filed just before my policy was to renew, so I was scrambling, and submitted the entire year at one time. I expected to get some push back, but was pleasantly surprised to find the claim processed and the payment in my account within 2 days.

Terrible

Would not recommend….okay good thing I can say is the claims they do pay they pay quickly. Their rates increase significantly EVERY year, their website/system is always down or updating but nothing ever improves. Their website is terrible. My dog went fore a wellness visit, was given medicine for an issue but because of this they didn’t pay out her wellness coverage. So what am I paying for???

VETERINARIAN: Spay Neuter clinic of NH

POSTED: | BY: Malaea

Last minute clinic was a success

My cat got a last minute bump up from the waitlist at a neuter clinic and they microchipped him and gave him his vaccines all included in the costs. Because it was considered a single package it wasn't an itemized list which had me concerned the claim wouldn't go through on the wellness plan, but it did! And it's been such a relief!
