Fast delivery

My claim was put in by my veterinarian's office. Within days I was notified but they were unable to do the direct deposit. That was my fault because I needed to update my information. Within the week they mailed out and I received a check for the amount of the refund. Excellent service. Fast delivery. thank you so much.

Very good insurance

I recently got the insurance for my puppy, I went in on a Saturday and had his first puppy visit, I was told how to submit a claim and I just took a picture of the receipt, but Tuesday I had the reimbursement back in my bank. It was fast and simple and I believe it is a very good insurance!

Eases the mind

I've had Pets Best insurance since my Maltese poodle was a puppy. She's my first pet ever and I sort of learned along the way what actually goes into being a pet parent. She was so active as a puppy I was scared she would eventually break a leg or something so I got insurance right away. I have never had to file a claim in 8 years, luckily, but last year so started having skin problems and within a week of taking her to the vet, she was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease. I was so distraught over all the testing and how quickly everything was progressing, I didn't have the energy to read my pet policy so I went ahead and sent in my invoice anyway. Not only did my insurance cover everything, but the response was a quick turn around and they even explained everything on my claim. I could cry solely based on the ease of mind knowing that this life long Disease will be covered. She has to be medicated for the rest of her life and I'm so thankful I never canceled her insurance even after not using it for 8 years. Thank you thank you thank you!
