This claim was a hard one to s…

This claim was a hard one to submit as my darling boy Mooky had to be put to sleep at the end of his cancer diagnosis. I was absolutely dreading the finality of then having to cancel his policy after the reimbursement was received. You did that final piece for me and I was very grateful to not have to do it. I then received a condolence card from you. Thank you for making this process a lot easier than I expected it to be, thank you for caring.

App is a breeze

Using the Pets Best App was a breeze. Took our pup on Friday morning, sent my receipt an hour after, via the app. On Saturday, we have received a response that our claim was being processed the. after 2 business days, we have received our refund...easy peazy! Thank you Pets Best.

Worth it

I was told about Pets Best by my vet, who purchased it for his entire staff. It definitely gives me peace of mind, since its much easier for me to pay a monthly fee than to get randomly hit with a huge vet bill.

Could not be happier

My claim was filed by the veterinarian office. I was notified when Pets Best received the claim, when the claim was settled, and again when payment was sent. I initially didn't quite understand the way the initial claim was decided so I simply called the number provided by Pets Best and my inquiry was easily answered by a very knowledgeable, friendly agent. Unfortunately, I've already met my annual deductible with both my Sphynx this month. But Pets Best has taken the financial stress out of the situation. I absolutely could not be happier or more impressed with Pets Best and recommend it to all my friends with pets.
