Great communication

I was notified at each stage of my claim processing, and when there was a delay due to a high volume of claims, I was notified and received my reimbursement check timely. The process was easy and I am very satisfied. Having a puppy is expensive (especially a Great Dane puppy who is mischievous), but knowing I have help with that is great!

Our first claim

Our cat is a Maine coon cat, Orion. We brought her to the vet for fecal testing, update of current shorts, blood work and a general wellness visit. With our chosen plan our bill was $180- I listed each item as described by my veterinarian receipt, and in no time at all we received our refund for having insurance. My check was for $140. and change. I can't tell you how pleased we are. This insurance plan through Pets Best is worth every cent for my wallet. And especially the well-being of my furry friend.
