Pets Best is the best

When my dog had pancreatitis and GI surgery in the same two week span, I wasn't stressed because Pets Best makes the claim process incredibly easy. I submitted my invoices on the app (took all of 5 minutes) and was notified about my claims within two weeks. After meeting my deductible, Pets Best handled exactly what my plan stated they would. They have NEVER tried to fight me or short me. Highly recommend.

Our Service from Pets Best is Exemplary

We have had an excellent experience with Pets Best insurance since joining. Our beloved kitty Dexter got very ill last August, and the company was great at promptly replying to and paying nearly every claim we made, allowing us to be able to provide him with the best care possible. He died on May 29th, which was nearly a year longer than we'd thought he'd be with us, and again, Pets Best helping us to afford his medication gave us that extra time. We made a claim to help pay for the expenses around his death, not realizing they didn't pay for such things (many companies do) but they were kind and sent condolences when telling us it was denied, and they also cancelled his policy for us - luckily, as we were a mess and grieving and would have forgotten. We are absolutely satisfied overall with Pets Best, which is the best pet insurance company we've ever dealt with. We recommend it highly.

Great Service!

I have been a customer of pets best for several years. Their claims process is super easy. I have one pup that has allergies and tends to get ear infections quite a bit so I see the vet for these issues on a normal basis. The claims process is as simple as taking a picture of my invoice/documentation and uploading it, clicking on the right circle for a diagnosis and hitting submit. The claim doesn't typically take long to be reviewed and paid. My last submission was reviewed the same day with a decision and I received a direct deposit a few days later. Great customer service!
