Best decision I ever made!

I am so glad that I chose Pets Best over the other pet insurance companies that I researched and that I got the insurance when we first got our puppy (lowest premium). They have paid me back just as much in claims as I have paid them in premiums! Claim filing is fast and easy and love their mobile site.

Amazingly fast reimbursement!

Having never had pet insurance, I wasn't sure what to expect with the reimbursement process. I was pleasantly surprised that within 3 business days I received confirmation of that reimbursement. Thank you Pets Best.

Refunded within 4 days

When I got my invoice from my vet I downloaded a copy onto my computer and all I had to do was login to pets best and go to start a claim, I then added the invoice in and filled out a few simple questions and I was done. I got my money refunded back to me within 4 days of the visit with the vet! and an email the next day explaining to me what and why they were giving me back what they did.
