Pets Best has been great through 5 pets so far. Payments have been fast. When there has been a problem they work through it very quickly. I always recommend them to other pet owners if they do not have pet insurance.

My Dog Started Throwing Up His Fo...

My dog started throwing up his food with no warning. He did it twice in one day and I decided to take him to the emergency vet. In the past, my dog has eaten things, like socks, underwear etc. and although he doesn't do that anymore, thought I better get him checked. He was given two x-ray which came up negative for foreign object and they advised it was some type of stomach issue.. We were sent home with meds and had him on a soft diet. He ended up getting better. I sent my claims into PetsBest and it was so easy, like usually to submit my claim. When I have fallen before ( not this time) the customer service was AMAZING and really cared about me and my dog. Thank you PetsBest for being the best experience for our dog insurance. The pic is from Xmas, I didn't have a current one on my home computer. Thank You..

Filing a claim with Pets Best is so easy. If you are registered on line, the claim forms are filled out with the pets name and pertinent information. I fax my claim forms along with the Vet's receipt and diagnosis sheet. I have direct deposit. The customer care team & billing department keep me updated via e-mail as to the progress of processing my claim. So convenient. Thank you.
