Room for Improvement

I haven't had this insurance long. I just recently went through a claims process because my doggie was hit by a car and the experience was ok, not the greatest. There was very little explanation and communication throughout the process which was a bit annoying. The website is not very user friendly to check on the status of your claim because you are not able to click on any links pertaining to your claim. You can only see a "status" and if it says pending, you can't see why so you have to call and at times the representatives were not able to clearly answer questions. This happened to me twice which left me a bit frustrated. At one point I had to hang up and call back in order to speak with someone else. There's room for improvement.

Affordable, reliable, and quick to take care of business

I have had Pets Best for 4 years and haven't needed to use it much - until 2 weeks ago. My dog had a limp and was scheduled for an orthopedic consult. The day of his appointment, they decided they wanted to keep him for TPLO surgery. We picked Ronin up the day after surgery, submitted the documents online (so easy) and our claim was settled in 10 days. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. Watching your pet suffer is stressful enough; having the peace of mind that I didn't really need to worry about money on top of it was priceless.
