Extremely responsive

Extremely responsive. After finding the right plan for my pets, with help from customer service, I didn't have to worry about having to make a choice about my pet's health based on my finances. While the rates go up quite a bit each year for older cats, their customer service is also there to help figure out how to make sure it's affordable while providing the coverage you need. The staff is very responsive and helpful and the reimbursements are timely. They were also extremely compassionate when I had to cancel a pet's plan due to her death. They are a great resource.

Pets Best is the Best Pet Insurance!

I LOVE Pets Best! They have always provided me with great, efficient, and timely service and fair claims review and reimbursements. I have been with them for several years and for several pets, and they have always processed my claims promptly, kept me well-informed via email, had an easy process for submitting claims, and an informative and easy-to-use website. I feel that their premiums are reasonable, and their coverage is excellent. Telephone communications with their staff (rare, because their computer systems provide me with pretty much everything I need) are always friendly and their staff is professional. I am very impressed with this business, and wish more businesses provided service the way that they do. I highly recommend Pets Best to all pet owners!
