Very impressed! Quick claim payment

This is the first time that I have had a pet in 10 years and the first time that I have purchased pet insurance, but wanted to be covered as our puppy has already had a hospital stay. I was sceptical about the value of pet insurance after hearing others say their claims weren't paid and it was a hassle. I could not be more delighted with my experience with Pet's Best. The customer service is excellent - I even had the same person answer the phone 2 days in a row and she remembered me and my previous questions. I filed my first claim last week, received helpful updates via email, and had the full 90% paid and direct deposited into my account within a week. I would highly recommend.

Happy with my pet insurance policy

All I can say is that Pets Best Insurance has been very fair with my claims. They have processed the claims in a lightning speed and have always answered my questions on my claims on the phone with very caring and professional people. I don't have to punch the no. for Spanish or English! I talk to real people which is so refreshing at these times of answering machines! So, I thank then for all their efforts to be fair and very professional.

Completely Satisfied 110%

Petsbest works fast to pay claims, my reimbursement was direct deposited 9 days later for the initial claim, and the follow up claim took 2 days! The customer service is exceptionally helpful and friendly and I couldnt have asked for a better company to insure my big babies.

Truly excellent

Minimal paperwork, excellent customer service, fast payment, no hassels. Human medical insurance should be this good.

Couldn't be happier.

I am so happy that I signed my three dogs up with Pets Best insurance. I submitted a claim for my dog Dante for an ongoing skin condition. Pets Best customer service encourage me to submit all claims pertaining to that condition for review. The claims covered a period of several months. During the process they were very friendly, helpful and professional. I was amazed at how quickly the claims were processed and the direct deposit was received at my bank. Thank you Pets Best!! I have recommended your services to several others because of the awesome service provided.
