Pets Best was the way to go
After reviewing all the insurance options for our dog, Duke, I am very pleased with the coverage and service from Pets Best. After a recent knee surgery, we were reimbursed for our expenses in about 2 weeks after the claim submission. The app is easy to use and makes it easy to check on claim status. I work in the (human) insurance industry , and can say this claim was paid quicker than most claims that come through our office.
