Very pleased with Pet's Best

I've been very pleased with Pet's Best claim process. When I am done with the vet visit, I take a picture of the bill, a few clicks on the app, less than a minute of my time and it's done. I have heard back within a week of my claims, and the claim is directly paid into my checking account. Easy peasy

Outstanding Service!

"Our 4 year old wiener dog was suffering from an ulcerated eye and had to have it removed. It was an expensive surgery, but with my Progressive Pet insurance, 80% of the cost was covered! It was super easy filing the claim and our little buddy is doing great! This insurance is very valuable and every pet owner should have it. I highly recommend it to all my dog owning friends. Thank you for the great service!!"

I have sent in my Vet receipts twice

I have sent in my Vet receipts twice, again! I have not yet received reimbursement for the 2 visits made to Vet. The last time I submitted receipts they never paid anything for the $400. dental bill !! This will be the last time I pay all this money for coverage and receive nothing! I am not at all pleased with the lack of service this company provides!

Claim process has improved drastically

The speed of the claim approval has improved drastically. It typically took around six weeks, but this time it was processed in about two—possibly even less. This was my first claim in quite some time, so I’m not sure whether the faster processing was circumstantial or indicative of a new standard. I truly hope future claims will be handled just as efficiently.
