Having Pets Best was a relief and helpful

I have had Pet Insurance for over 12 years. It has been the best thing I have done for my pets and me. It has given me a piece of mind and heart that everything will be taken care of. My Lab Scout ended up very ill one year, we had to do exploratory surgery on her. The bill came to $3500.00, insurance covered over $3000.00 of it. What a relief and very helpful. And as soon as I added 2 more Labs to the family, I had insurance on them before they were brought home. Thank you for always being here for us.

Super easy and convenient

My claim was for my dog, Lola. She was spayed at my vet's office :'-( D.O.S. was 10/29/18. I submitted my claim via the PetsBest mobile app. I just provided some basic info., snapped a pic of my invoice, uploaded and clicked send and voila...that was it. It was super easy and convenient. I had already signed up for direct deposit so reimbursement was in my account within 4 working days. I submitted my claim on Fri. 11/2/18 and payment was received Thur. 11/8/18. I am extremely pleased how fast and convenient the entire claims process was from beginning to end. Honestly, I was expecting to have to jump through hoops to receive reimbursement. Thank you for making my experience stress-free. It was a very great experience.
