I'M Happy That Most Of The Charge...

I'm happy that most of the charges for annual exams are reimbursed, but confused as to why some medications (for trauma) weren't. I don't clearly understand the "deductible" per pet.

I Bought Pet Insurance, For The V...

I bought pet insurance, for the very first time, to cover my new puppy, Riley. My vet discussed with me that she recommended pet insurance to new owners because of the healthcare care advancements that are available and coming down the pike. I was able to use it for his first wellness visit on Tuesday and the claim was paid (with the exception of forty cents) on Saturday. That's faster than my own insurance company pays my claims. Here's to hoping I don't need anything other than the wellness coverage but if I do, I feel confident after my first claim was so quickly taken care of by Pets Best.

I Really Hadn'T Used My Pet Insur...

I really hadn't used my pet insurance until a few weeks ago. My young dog became very seriously ill. To make a long story short, I am beyond grateful that (a) I had invested in pet insurance long ago and (b) the claim filed by the vets office on my behalf was accepted and processed so quickly. I will gladly recommend anyone with a pet invest in pet insurance. It's been a blessing during a very difficult (and expensive) time.
