Over-Grooming

Our beloved cat, Patches, is engaging in over-grooming, and Pets Best has been incredibly supportive as we go through the trials and errors of various medication’s, bloodwork and vet visits. She looks like she is not wearing any pants, because she is bald from her back down.. Now, she has chipped a tooth which has exacerbated the over- grooming and is having it removed, which we hope helps. Pets Best has helped us through the process, - being compassionate and understanding as we try to get our baby back to health.. We highly recommend their service.

Get your vets records yourself to speed reimbursement up

This is the first time I've purchased pet and wellness insurance and I'm a senior citizen. I'm glad I did since my new puppy has had multiple visits to vets here in Hawaii for a suspicious lump. She even had to have a specialist ultrasound. Pets Best has paid for everything as expected, usually in a timely manner. Just be sure you use a vet that is willing to provide and fax/email all medical records when asked. That is normally the only thing that delays payment. I finally asked my vet for a copy of my dog's full medical record. Now every time we have a visit I ask for an update on the records. That way I can just send it to the insurance company myself and not make them ask the vet to them. It really speeds the process up. As long as PB gets the right paperwork they pay quickly.
