Financial Support When You Need It

"I had PetsBest Insurance for a couple years before needing to file a claim. When I filed the claim everything was processed and paid quickly. Insurance of any kind is one you have in hopes to not really use it and then when you have to you hope it will pay out like you thought. I would recommend PetsBest to anyone. "

Easy Claim Submissions

The process of submitting a claim is simple. The app walks you through the steps. I have the highest coverage available, but I submit everything even if I know it's going to be rejected so they have a record of the cost people pay for things. It's the only way there will be an increase in how much is reimbursed. Payout on flea/tick/heartworm medications and vaccinations isn't very high per year when you consider the true cost of the medications. When I told a vet what was covered, they asked if it was the 1980s.

Coverage
