Pleased with claims

I am very pleased with all the claims I have submitted due to my cat having issues with excessive lucking then being diagnosed with over active thyroid and now allergies to pet food

Pets Best is the BEST and they excel in customer service and knowledge! Easiest Claim processing too and above all, they care!

I have been with Pets Best for about 10 years now for both of my chocolate labs, Finly and Kyla. I have been so worried as they age that I won't be able to give them the proper care. With Pets Best, I have really been able to do what is best for my kids, rather than worry about what I can and can't pay for. The process of submitting a claim is so easy and efficient and the turn around time is outstanding. I didn't understand at first why the rates increased as they age, but now that they are 9 and 12 I realize what is needed for proper care. I am so grateful and the customer service staff are truly exceptional. I always feel like I am being heard and cared for. I always feel like they understand that Finly and Kyla are my children and deserve top quality care. I am grateful and just wanted to share how fortunate I have been to have them behind me over the last 10 years. Many thanks to you all!!

Accidental coverage that did not cover a accident.

Why would you have an accidental coverage policy if it does not cover a real accident? Last time I checked, a dog running and playing and slipping on grass and tearing their ACL was considered an accident.
