Paid Bills!

We recently had an emergency situation with our dog. He needed to stay overnight in the hospital. Having petbest insurance took away that feeling of concern about money knowing they would cover this incident. We submitted the bill and within 2 days they approved our bill and reimbursed for almost everything we were charged at the percentage we chose for our plan. Fast, easy, and very satisfying!!!

Pets Best Health Insurance is THE BEST

Pets Best Health Insurance is THE BEST! It is easy to file a claim and if there is a refund they are fast to process the claim and explain what IS and IS NOT covered. It has been great for the care of my 3 year old AKC German Shepherd dog, Levi. :-)

This insurance was a true life saver!

Our dog got into the trash and ended up needing surgery for foreign body obstruction. In the next few weeks he had several complications related to a bad suture reaction in his incision. We were able to very easily submit the claim for the initIal surgery and all of his follow ups and received our reimbursement quickly and with no issues. Our dog has been doing great and we are so thankful this allowed us to afford this life saving surgery!

happy customer

I am very satisfied with this insurance service. Two days after getting the insurance I scheduled my visit to the vet for a routine care. I submitted the claim the same day using their app and my claim was processed a few hours after with a detailed explanation of coverage. I have the BestWellness plan and I was reimbursed almost my entire bill. Now I happily want to take my dog to the vet.
