A Lifesaver

My cat Bono developed a blockage and we had to rush him to the vet. The bill was almost $800, ouch. Our options were that or putting him down, which I can't even fathom. It was nice to say just do it rather than stressing if we can afford it or not. You do need to pay up front, but you get it back within three weeks which is convenient. I was pleased to see there were no loopholes on why it wouldn't be covered, you just fax the paperwork and you're all done with the process. Now I can I have my Bono around for a lot longer. Thank you Pet's Best.

Pets Best has been so reliable .

I have had the remarkably unfortunate occurrence of having two dogs diagnosed with bone cancer in the last year. Not only did Pets Best never once question a claim, but they promptly sent my reimbursement checks within a week, and actually called to express their condolences and made a donation to an animal cancer research institute. Knowing that the medical bills were not going to cause me to go “broke” since I had the insurance made me focus on the remaining time I had with my dogs, making it as much less of a stress- and worry-free as could be expected in that situation.

Fast Payment of Claims. Great service.

We insured our three dogs with Pets Best in January, 2010.When our precious Muffin suddenly developed pancreatitis followed by secondary hepatitis in June 2010, we were so relieved that Pets Best paid 80% of claims after the deductible. The claims were paid fast - sooner than 14 days. No hassles at all. We are so grateful that Muffin has recovered, and we are recommending Pets Best to all our family and friends. t

Pets Best Perfomed

My beautiful English Bulldog rblew her ACL about 10 days ago. The surgery thus far has resulted in nearly 5k of expenses. Pets Best paid exactly what they owed - nearly $3,800 in five business days. I was expecting a per insurance company to try to avoid paying the amount listed on the policy. Like most medical companies for humans I expected the claim to be minimized by "excessive charges above reasonable costs". I about fell out when the entire process from the time I called to cerify coverage for the surgery through the payment of the claim went off like clockwork and out performed the service level I get from my Blue Cross - Blue Shield plan. My dogs surgery was conducted by the best animal physicians in Houston - Gulf Coast Veterinary Clinic. The person in charge of helping file the claim told me at the time of service that thye had never had a single issue with claim payments from Pets Best. I strongly recommend this company.
