Quick turn around on claims

My dog had a medical emergency and went to the emergency vet. The visit resulted in surgery. I did my claim thru the app once we were home recovering. It was so easy. My claim was processed in 5 days, that is faster than human health insurance! I highly recommend Pets best pet insurance. When I have had other claims, they keep me posted on the status until processed and the claim closed in a timely manner.

The house always wins

This is a massive insurance company privately owned by a large holding company. Like all insurance companies, the goal of the corporation is profit. While competent, professional, and reliable, don't count on Pets Best to put your interests first.

Pets Best has been wonderful for our…

Pets Best has been wonderful for our family. It has helped us not think twice to take our dog to the vet or ER when needed and it has saved us so much money! While their website does randomly crash from time to time, it is very easy to use and the payments are quick and direct deposit. Couldn't recommend more!

Easily submitted Claims

With an active dog, we have ear problems every year allergy season hits and she starts swimming in the rivers. With one visit to the vet, we are able to almost meet our deductible, which gives us confidence in taking her in every time we think there's a problem. PetsBest has always been responsive in the claims process, even when they're swamped. And the benefits explanation is easy to understand. Thank you PetsBest.
