Pets Best saves the day

Pets Best saves the day - again! Our Bella had knee surgery and we submitted the very expensive vet bill on Wednesday and received notification of the payment on Saturday! Always very prompt claims service, which is why we have been very satisfied clients for 10+ years. Thank you as always Pets Best!

I absolutely love Pets Best

I absolutely love Pets Best. I used to be a member of Healthy Paws, but I'm glad I made the switch. Sometimes my claims are handled fast, I think the longest I've waited was 20 days. My hope is that my premium stays reasonable and continues to protect my angel baby until the end.

Very positive experience with multiple claim submissions

I submitted multiple claims on vet treatments for our two dogs, all at the same time. I was satisfied with how all the claims were handled: easy submission, great communication and reasonable processing time.

Communication

While I have been satisfied with the claims that have been covered, communication with Pets Best customer service has been extremely lacking. I would have given a "0" rating if possible. When I first joined there was an option to have an live chat. Questions were answered immediately. Now no live chat is possible. No email is possible. The only way to reach customer service is via phone and I have been on hold for as much as 45 minutes waiting to speak to someone. I am happy overall with the company but communication really, really needs to improve.

Easy to use, quick for reimbursement

Very easy to file claims. Customer service, when I have used them, is helpful and responsive. Claims can sometimes take a bit of time, but they always do a good job of communicating what might be slowing the process down. Reimbursement is seamless too!
