Chichu (White) And Kimchi (Brown)...
Chichu (white) and Kimchi (brown), are mother and daughter, both senior dogs already. Chichu had a corneal ulcer (which got better) last year, went to the vet, got billed, and claims were paid. Easy as 1-2-3. Then a few months ago, Kimchi also had a corneal ulcer (unfortunately, the infected eye couldn't be saved), went to the vet, got billed, and Pets Best paid my claims with no hassle. Just uploaded receipts, very user friendly site, and attentive customer service.

Pets Best is Best for People Too!
For the last eight years we've had Pet's Best for our German Shepherd dog and this company has always been so easy and a pleasure to work with. Every Pet's Best rep shows sincere concern about why we're submitting a claim, they're knowledgeable and always efficient. I've never had any problems with claims and can't say enough good things about the company.
Thanks Pet's Best!

Slow claims process but thorough
We had two Boston Terriers without Pet Insurance and paid the price. We spent over $15K for their medical maladies. When we purchased our new Boston Terrier we decided to try Pets Best. Unfortunately after having her for 6 weeks she ended up in an emergency hospital with Aspirated Pneumonia. Unfortunately Pets Best determined her pneumonia was a pre-existing condition. They did however cover all costs not associated with the pneumonia. So while we paid well over $5000 for her care, Pets Best did come through and reimburse over $1700 after our $500 deductible and 10% co-pay..
The claims process took over 3 weeks to complete and I had to call for updates. I commend Pets Best for their thorough claims process. I only wish they would update the status online more frequently.
