Nice to know we have dependable insurance

We were concerned because our 1 year old Aussie was urinating when sleeping, so we had some test run which came back negative but was given antibiotics just in case. She is fine now, we send in out vet clam and with-in a week we had a reply and acceptance of the calm which went to the deductible but overall service and response time for the clam we are very happy with Pets Best insurance, hope we never need I but it's nice to know we have dependable insurance for our dog Shiba. Thank you Pets Best.

They came through when I needed them

Our claim was hassle free and reimbursement came in about two weeks. I am very pleased that I chose Pet's Best to help defray the high cost of vet care. They came through when I needed them.

Happy with the end result

Our dog was hit by a motor vehicle and had to go through an extensive surgery and recovery process. This claim was originally denied stating that it did not fall within the insurance policies parameters. We appealed the claim and had to obtain further clarification and justification from our Veterinarian as we were 100% sure that it was a mistake and that it did in fact fall under our current Pets Best insurance policy. It then took nearly the full 60 day appeal window and we then received the funds as expected. We're happy with the end result and feel that Pets Best made the overall right decision to help us out, thank you. We will be remaining a Pet's Best insurance policy holder to ensure our pets are well covered in the future.
