Glad we got the coverage

Pet insurance has been a huge decision for us as we don't make a lot of money, but with two active dogs, we are glad we got the coverage. Our Britanny accidentally sideswiped the woodpile in our home and hit it just right to rip open her skin. Not everything was covered but enough to help us out.

Positive first claim experience

After my baby had to use the ER for stitches due to a dog bite/attack I saw the bill to her visit and was already stressed and overwhelmed by how much the procedure and her stay was. I was rest assured that after I submitted my claim (which was as simple as uploading an invoice and giving the reasoning why) that I was going see 90% of my bill reimbursed after the 250$ deductible. The process was easy and when I had additional questions the customer service rep was more than helpful in understand my claim. The processing time for the claim took a little under 5-10 business days and the claim came a few days after in a direct deposit. This is the most positive first claim I could of had from any insurance company. Thank you pets best for providing me and my baby with so much support and care in our time of need.
