Excellent service

I just had to use our insurance for the first time. Simple claims process and the payment was made within a month. At this stage I can say I am happy I chose Pets Best for Rosie. I would recommend anyone looking for insurance for their pet to check out Pets Best . I really was skeptical about pet insurance but this really save us a lot of money. Our Pug suddenly came down with a stomach issue that required an overnight at the ER vet and the coverage really helped. My experience is only one incident with one dog and I never had insurance for a pet before to compare to but definitely satisified.

I signed up for a wellness plan

I signed up for a wellness plan, so I don't know why ALL yearly vaccines aren't covered.

VETERINARIAN: VCA Animal Hospital Urgent Care

Easy and Fast

First time using insurance with my new puppies. It was easy to submit the claim and they responded fast and send back the money. The only thing was the pre pay fecal testing., because it wasn’t done yet, even that I already pay for it, they couldn’t reimburse me that until it’s done . I have to ask for a new invoice and submit the claim again. I had to call because I didn’t understand and the lady who answer was nice and clear
