Layla and her Stomach Issues

The entire claims experience with Pets Best for my dog Layla and her digestive issues was great! The online submission process of the claim was easy to follow and took only a few minutes, and I received an e-mail immediately confirming my claim was under review. Within 2-3 days I received confirmation of my claim with a full explanation of what reimbursement I was eligible for and why. The reimbursement was estimated to take 7-10 days, and I received my reimbursement direct deposited into my checking account in less than one week. Overall, a great experience so thanks Pet's Best!

My Fur Babies

So happy I chose Pets Best Insurance for both my fur babies. Everything is done with such ease from the vet’s side to the insurance part. The claims are always processed quickly and I never have to call anyone to find out when I’m getting my payment. It’s great when you have competent service from both sides. I couldn’t be any happier. Glad I chose Pets Best Insurance..
