Arya Recently Had A Few Shar-P…

Arya recently had a few Shar-Pei fever attacks and due to the attacks, we started her on monthly prescriptions to help prevent the attacks and lessen the damage it will do to her kidneys. Luckily, the prescription is covered through Pets Best and the monthly payment I have to make towards the medicine is reduced. I am very happy with the Pets Best service!

We Had To Take Our Dog To The …

We had to take our dog to the vet because he was reverse sneezing and gasping for air. It was very scary. It was so great to take him to the vet and not worry about the cost because we had Pets Best on our side! He required a few x-rays, some antibiotics and blood work and is now fully recovered from his respiratory infection. The claims process was so easy and quick it made the paperwork part a breeze so we could focus on getting our pet better!

My Pup Had An Ear Infection So…

My pup had an ear infection so obviously he needed vet care. The bill wasnt high but it"s great to know that I was getting most of the cost back. He"s all better now. Once I got home I started the claims process which literally takes 2 minutes since my vet emails me the copy of my bill. All I had to do was give a brief description of my dog Illness and upload the bill. That"s it! I received a confirmation email that my claim was received and about a week later the money was in my account. The direct deposit option is the best! Everything with this company is so simple from start to finish! Thank You!"
