We submitted our first claim on this insurance due to a neck injury suffered by our standard longhair dachshund. This claim was for the initial visit to the animal emergency room. From the day we filed to the day the money was deposited in our bank account was only 9 days. Thank you!!!

Everyone handled Luna's illness and her eventual passing with the utmost professionalism and compassion. It was a devastating and traumatic blow for us and I am so glad that there was no drama or second-guessing of the claims submitted, as I don't think i would have been prepared to relive/revisit such a devastating experience. I will definitely consider a policy if/when we decide to rescue another fur baby - all the best - Val.

Great customer experience

Pets Best is easy! The website is user friendly, filing claims is easy, and payment is timely and deposited directly into my bank account. I love all the options they provide to get in touch. No one has time to wait on hold these days. I can email or chat about my needs. Chat response time is instantaneous. I was able to update my credit card information via chat! How awesome is that! LOVE PETS BEST!!!
