Fantastic five star experience in an emergency.

And super customer service each and every time I have contact.I have had several small claims and one major emergency claim. Every rep I have spoken with was professional, courteous, and compassionate and best of all understanding. My beagle basset had the feared hemangiosarcoma cancer and this company came to the rescue with fast claim payment. I was so worried about the bills, but they went above and beyond in my emergency with my dog. This is the company to have your back and the follow up with them is outstanding.

honest and quick

the terms are clear. when my great dane had bloat and gastric torsion, the bill was a bit over $5k. After my deductible, they paid 80 percent just as the policy called for. I never even had to talk to them. They handled everything through my vet and I received a check within 20 days. It was so easy and I would go with this company again and again.

Good Name

The name of company speaks for itself, Pets Best! No problems with payment into my account(5 days). The only time I have any problem is with the vet not filling properly. I have two people that signed up for your insurance of my recommendation. They are pleased as I am.

Very impressed!

Mailed my first claim to Pets Best on a Saturday and had a direct deposit reimbursement the following Thursday. The turnaround time is so quick and the claim form is easy to fill out. Just follow the instructions on the claim form when you file your claim and they quickly take care of the rest. Thank you for your prompt response!
