Impressed with Pets Best.

I'm always impressed with Pet's Best, even when the claim amount isn't as large as hoped the reasoning always makes sense and the service is always spectacular. Thank you!

Please with the process.

Overall I was very pleased with the process and thought you did a very good job at making this very simple and a quick turnaround. Which was very appreciated. At this point, I would be very likely to refer friends and family.

Claims is quick and painless.

It is very easy to scan and then attach paid bills from my computer when submitting claims. There are not too many buttons to push. The calendar is very helpful. It is a very quick and painless process.

Pets Best delivers the best service.

Having insurance for Harper, who I consider my daughter as I don't have children, gives me peace of mind that I have coverage for her no matter the situation. I have had pet insurance in the past with other companies that never came close to delivering the service that Pets Best has. Thank you for making this process so easy and taking some of the worry out of paying for the vet. I can't tell you what a relief that is when you are already stressed about your pet being sick.

Reimbursement issues.

Direct deposit failed because my bank info was out of date. Instead of notifying me and retrying the deposit after a day so I could correct it, I was automatically mailed a check which took far longer. I'm disabled and poor, waiting an extra ten days for reimbursement could cause serious problems for me.
