This was a perfect insurance experience

I've always bought insurance for my dogs. However, this is the first policy I've purchased from PetsBest which was based on the good reviews I read online. I covered my Cocker Spaniel, Cooper, from the day I bought him back in March of 2017. He had a bad experience with diarrhea and vomiting which required several vet visits, medications, tests etc. The problem was resolved and I submitted my claim to PetsBest. The claim was handled in 5 days from when they received it and the money was in my checking account two days later. I consider this to be the way all insurance companies should operate. They exceeded my expectations and I am totally satisfied. This is a good place to do business. Glad I did my homework and gave PetsBest a chance.

Fantastic experience. I was able to file my claims on line (2 wellness checkups and prescriptions) I was notified about receiving the claims, processing them and payment on them. Payment was deposited into my account. The whole procedure was painless.

This was the first time I used the claims process. Previously I thought it might be cumbersome and didn't file other claims. On this occasion it was a very substantial amount so I researched the process and discovered it was far easier than I imagined. It was such a quick and easy process.

My claim is still ongoing as we're still in the diagnosis/treatment plan stages for my Milo's cancer diagnosis, but it makes it easier knowing Pets Best has our financial back!

Rugey, My Boykin Spaniel, Loves T...

Rugey, my Boykin Spaniel, loves to play fetch with his ball. He seems to plan his spectacular jumps for his ball, then trots around proudly after he catches it mid-air. One particular jump, he landed awkwardly on his shoulder/neck and suffered some soft tissue injury. Naturally, we took him to our Veterinary Clinic. Rugey underwent an exam and x-ray imaging. We were happy that no bones were broken and the damage was just soft tissue. PetsBest alleviated any added stress because we knew that our claim would be handled and would be handled in an expedient manner. Thank you, PetsBest!
