Great coverage but too slow

It's takes WAY too long to get a claim approved and then get reimbursed. Otherwise the coverage is great and they always cover exactly what they say they will.

I am relatively new to Pets Best and so far I am happy with our decision. We signed our 4 year old shiba and 2 year old shiba during the summer and it was super easy and I think pretty affordable. My dogs have always been in great health and I thought better late than never. I just received a reimbursement from one of our vet trips and I am pleasantly surprised how much they covered and I am grateful that I decided to go with Pets Best for pet insurance. I only gave them 4 stars for now because I have not been with them for very long (3 months).

Pets Best insurance

Pets Best insurance, in my opinion, is one of the best insurance companies I have ever dealt with. I hear such bad complaints from friends about the insurance companies they have and I always try to steer them to Pets Best. Many have changed and are much happier!
