Easy online submission
Scanning and submitting the necessary documents was very easy. I also used the on-line chat feature which was both easy to use and very helpful.

Do not use
Worst company ever. I tried to file a claim and they back tracked on everything. I had additional acl coverage added and was told I am all set and was covered now they wont do anything about it.

They did not pay out on an injury, because maybe old age played a role.
When my 7 year old dog jumped off a high bed in the spare bedroom, she injured herself. The vet said it maybe, note maybe, a sign of disc generation. No x-rays were taken, just a maybe. But because maybe the injury was due to disc generation, Pets Best refused to pay out as maybe she would not have injured herself if there was maybe no disc generation. Of course, maybe there is no disc generation and she just jumped off wrong, but they'd rather go with the, maybe the injury would rather go with the option that saves them from paying out. Of course dogs get more frail as they get older, and will get injured easier, it does not make it any less an injury. So be sure to only insure young animals, of course, if they are too young, maybe they wouldn't have gotten hurt if there bones were stronger. You never know.

Happy customer here!
Cali was really sick- we think from the dust in our remodel. A couple of visits to the vet, multiple meds, about $700. later we had little Cali feeling much better. A week or so later we received almost $500. Happy customer here!
