Easier Than I Could Have Imagined

My first time making a claim, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I feared it was going to be a long, complicated process. I was worried it would take forever and involve talking on the phone. I couldn't have been more wrong. The process was as simple as indicating where my cat received his care and uploading photos of my itemized bills. The whole process took maybe 5 minutes on my phone. A few days later, I got an approval email that was just as detailed as the itemized vet bill so I knew exactly how they came to the decision. It definitely made what was a stressful time emotionally and financially so much better.

Worst insurance ever

You can’t get anything preapproved. My dog had an accident in the fires. He had a really bad limp. We have had insurance 3 months now. They denied my dogs X-rays bc it was a ccl. How were we suppose to know. So basically they told me i had to wait 6 months. I get for the surgery but they should have covered the x ray. They said they wouldn’t cover it bc it was related to a ccl. Worst insurance ever

Pets Best - always excellent in all aspects

I regularly share with others Pets Best as a PSA - while I would have paid for my dog's life saving medical needs 4 years ago (16 days in ICU, blood transfusions and dialysis), Pets Best tremendously eased the financial burden it would have placed on me by exceeding my expectations reimbursement. Since then, PB has continued to be outstanding - easy to work with, fast, sets expectations, clear in explainations. Thank you!
