Thrilled with Pets Best.

I have been completely thrilled with Pets Best! Each claim I submitted was paid exactly as I expected. This claim was for spaying her, and microchipping. Paid in about 10 days, and got an apology for that delay. (I was happy with the turnaround time, but appreciated the note anyway). I highly recommend your insurance to every pet owner. Well worth the premiums.

Really like the service.

I've used Pets Best for my previous pet who passed away in 2013. When I got my next pet, I immediately signed her up with Pets Best. I really like the service and the ease of accessing my "paid for" benefits. I am disappointed, however, on the rate we pay when pet is quite healthy. Wish rate was dependent on overall cost of claims for any particular pet - based on need.

I am extremely happy.

I am extremely happy with my experience using Pets Best. I've been customer for 5 years and never thought I'd actually have to use it. When my dog broke her leg we were faced with the unexpected cost of emergency surgery. I got the necessary paperwork from our vet and was able to do everything else online. It was so simple! Our claim was reviewed and accepted within a week. I am so impressed with how easy the process was. It definitely took away some of the stress of this accident. Now she is rocking a hot pink cast and on her way to getting better!
