Speedy Claim Results For An Ear Infection

My dog had an ear infection that required a visit to the vet. I submitted a claim which included the exam, lab tests, and medication. I received a email immediately saying that my claim had been received and about two days later, another email came saying I was been reimbursed for the vet visit. I think the money was deposited in my bank account a few days later. I was pleased at how quickly this all occurred.

Pets Best is the BEST!

We Love Pet's Best insurance! The ease of submitting a claim is wonderful. Recently I have noticed a shortened processing time for claims as well with my last one for a medication reimbursal being processed in less than 24 hours! We HIGHLY recommend Pet's Best....They have been wonderful in caring for our Husky/Rat terrier mix, Miss Maggie Blossom! If you are considering adding a fur baby to your family I highly recommend Pet's Best Insurance!
