We were informed very quickly (within a day) that the claim was in process. Also, when it was adjudicated I was informed promptly. I understood the process and decisions. We very much appreciated the timeliness and clarity of the claim.

We have a Goldendoodle puppy and we decided that getting insurance on him was a must. After reviewing other pet insurance companies we decided on Pets Best. It was the perfect decision. We have been reimbursed on any claims within a few days. We are beyond impressed, and would highly recommend this company. Thank you Robert & Tracy Pena

Claim Filed 9/15. Acknowledged 9/...

Claim filed 9/15. acknowledged 9/15. 9/25 notified requested medical records from Vet. 10/4 notified records not received and claim would be closed in 2 days if not received. I was traveling with limited internet service but was able to contact the vet and you on 10/4 that they had sent the records the previous day. You acknowledged that on 10/4 and paid the claim. My only issue is it took 10 days to request the medical info and then when not received in 9 days (8 for the vet) there would have been only 2 days to get the info. I was fortunate to be able to get internet and follow-up with the vet. If that had not been the case, I would have had to start the process all over. I think you need to reconsider how long before you would close a claim. If I had been out of internet service for a week or out of the country, it would be problematic. Thanks.
