BE CAREFUL

be careful, do not take this insurance, they don’t pay anything they will find many reasons not to pay you, they will not give you a clear answer about the reason for the refusal

Covered medication ordered online

I purchased medication on allivet.com and they contacted my vet who filled the order and had it shipped to me. Once I received the medication I went on PetsBest.com and submitted a claim for my pet, the medication I purchased, the date of and the amount I paid. I then uploaded a copy of my receipt from Allivet and submitted the claim. Pets Best gave me a window date of when the claim would be in process then completed. Sorry I do not have specific dates.

I am so happy

I am so happy with how our Olive's claim was handled. It was so easy to upload the bill and payment information and check on the status through the app. I was happy to receive an email letting me know that they were working on our claim but it was taking longer than expected. Thank you for turning a very scary situation into one we did not have to worry about.

Quite impressed

Very pleased and quite impressed with the quick TAT of my claim payment. I even mailed the claim in and still was most impressed with a week TAT for receiving my payment.

Happy with our choice in insurance

My girl got her vaccinations, I took a picture of the receipt, uploaded it and all done. Efficient, easy and the payment was received without any delay. In earlier contacts with questions by phone I have been met by nice people who have answered my concerns and questions. I am overall very happy with our choice in insurance for our girl. I have recommended you guys to other people many times ;-)
