Excellent customer service

Pets Best has always provided me with excellent customer service. From the ease of submitting claims online to their keeping me well-informed of the status of my claims, and fair payments with direct deposit, they make the whole process a breeze. My last claim was for the hospitalization of my dog with heart disease and subsequent euthanasia. It was a big bill (over $3,000) and they paid the majority of it based upon my coverage within a week of submission, which I really appreciated. Then they sent me an email of condolences and automatically canceled my policy so I didn't have to deal with it at this difficult time. I wish all businesses would function like Pets Best. They are truly the best pet insurance around and I highly recommend them to anyone needing insurance.

Easy and fast

The claims process is always easy and fast. I have been using Pet's Best since my veterinary practice recommended you about five years ago, and I have always been satisfied. Your customer service is outstanding.
