Claims process

I feel my claims have been processed in a timely manner. The website for submitting claims and checking on claims is very user friendly and easy to understand. I have been a client for 6 years and feel I have had excellent service.

The right choice

I searched many pet insurance companies online and reviewed many quotes. Pets Best was the perfect fit for my budget. It has several options to choose from to suit your needs and budget as well. The claims process is so easy and only takes a minute or two to submit. They provide quick status updates until your payment is delivered. It took a total of 4 days from start to finish for me. I highly recommend!

Midnight at ER Vet

A midnight spent in the veterinary ER is never a good time however you’ll do and spend just about anything to make sure your little dog is OK. Mueller veterinary Hospital is one of the best in Sacramento. They didn’t hesitate. They took my little 5 pound Chihuahua in since she had been throwing up and finally it looked like there was blood in her vomit. I rushed her to Mueller after midnight I was so stressed out about my dog. I completely forgot that I had insurance until the vet as she quoted the treatment plans asked me if I had insurance. It finally clicked. I said yes I have pets best insurance From a previous experience. I knew that I could know. Stop silently worrying about the cost and think solely about my little dog Daisy thank you Mueller and pets best for getting her back on the mend submitting my claim through pets best was easy and I had a check covering some of the cost within a couple of weeks

Pets best is the worst

We paid for premium coverage and they only paid $150 of a $980 bill for getting our dog neutered. My understanding was this procedure was %100 covered. Do not use this provider, they take over 60 days to pay out often with no exploration of the payout. Use embrace instead

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats.
