Good service but…..

Expedited claim efficiently but had to gather medical records from my vet on my own. Was unaware there were co-pays for pet insurance . Thought I would get 90% of bill when deductible met but they deduct co-pays as well.

Wellness claim

I love how easy it is to file a claim and receive payment. I recently had my dog in for her yearly exam. To submit a claim, I just uploaded a copy of my receipt online. I immediately received confirmation the the claim was received. In less than a week I received an email notice that my claim was approved. I received a check a few days later (would have been faster if I set up direct deposit). No issues, no questions from the company wanting additional paperwork.

My Precious Mandy

"I rescued Mandy at 1 1/2 years old. I had dogs all my life but never such a large one, she is a beautiful Great Pyrenees Golden Mix, so I thought it would be wise to get insurance. My thoughts were may hip dysplasia down the road or other aliments a large dog may encounter. Now several years later, if that were only the case....my precious girl at only 5 years old was diagnosed with mast cell malignant tumors. If I had not had insurance, I don't know how I could have done all this. Pet's Best has come through 100%. I am so grateful to them. Coverage has been outstanding, and I have been given extra time with my precious girl."
