No hassle reimbursement

Although claims are taking a week or so longer than the 5 day grace period to review, my gigantic claim for my cat was covered without hassle or fuss. I was worried there would be push back for such a large claim (~$4K) but aside from my receipts, nothing extra was asked of me and my claim was covered.

Don't know what I would do without this insurance!

My Yorkie has previously had issues with pancreatitis and enteritis, but now suddenly losing weight. It's a helpless feeling to know expensive testing needs to be done when you don't have unlimited bank accounts. Pets Best Insurance has saved me again with this claim. I totally understand occasionally processing takes over the 5 days to get medical records! The updates letting me know each phase of processing her claim was great! I purchased this policy when she was just a baby and it has been the best investment in ensuring I am always able to get her the treatment she needs. The required forms and submitting claims is beyond simple and I highly recommend Pets Best after almost 9 years as a customer!

Reimbursements are prompt.

My experience with Pets Best has always been excellent. They are very helpful with any questions I may have, and always prompt with reimbursements.
