Pleased with reimbursement

Unfortunately my vet went from a $255.00 price to a $334.00! Last I was pleased with a reimbursement of $200.00 so with the price costing me more I did think it would be a greater reimbursement then $184.00.

Everything is easy

Everything is easy with Pets Best. I've had them for several years and have never been disappointed. Claims are serviced fast, vets are contacted if more info is needed. Any delay is explained promptly via email. Coverage is the best. I believe it's a few dollars more, but the coverage, the responsiveness, and the pleasant people in customer service all make it worth the extra pennies. Claims are simple to submit too. I haven't one negative word about Pets Best. I boast about them all the time and now have my vet recommending them. I have only high appreciation for Pets Best.

Fast,exceptional, and affordable

I’ve had pets best insurance for roughly 6 months. It’s affordable and the claims are really easy to submit. My poor pup had to have a surgery that was quite expensive. I submitted my claim after and was reimbursed within 2 weeks! Absolutely thrilled that my pup is feeling better and Pets best covered the majority of the bill! The best part is that it’s completely affordable! I’m not sure what I would have done without pets best!

Very happy with the service

I have had Pets Best every since I rescued Spooky. It’s been since 2009 or 2010. I am very happy with the service I have received, and given information to my brother and his wife for their fur baby. Hopefully they will be calling you soon.
