Fast service and excellent customer service

I have a $200 deductible policy. I submitted my claim on their web site, easy, fast, only requires a copy of the paid invoice from the vet. Within 7 days the cost, minus the deductible, was automatically deposited to my bank account. This company has great customer service, reasonably priced policies with a good choice of different policy offers. Payment of the claim was made quickly and efficiently. Their policies are well spelled out as to what is covered and what is not depending on your choice and depending on preexisting conditions. I have had two previous companies for my three dogs and one cat. . Pets Best is faster with reimbursement and has better customer service, better policy options.

Highly satisfied customer

Our golden doodle is now 2 .5 years old. She has had Pets Best since the day we got her, which is approx. 3 months of age. Never being a dog owner combined with her being a mixed breed made me a bit concerned about potential health issues - I just did not know what to expect. Our dog has had numerous health issues resulting in not only a torturous experience for our dog, but also became a financial burden. Getting pets best was probably the best (no pun intended) choice we made. The customer service is exceptional - any person you speak to is just so willing to help. They are all well versed and knowledgeable. Most important part - they follow thru with what they say. Over this past year, I have referred many friends and family to Pets Best. They are truly the BEST!!
