Love pets best

We haven’t had any issues with pets best. We have used them for many years. Our boy cooper just had TPLO surgery and was going to cost $7400! With insurance we received 90% back just a few weeks after surgery. Not to mention all the allergy issues he’s had and the shots every month. They have been amazing answering questions and processing claims quickly. I recommend to anyone who asks… and even to some that don’t lol

Quick and Easy!

I recently used the PetsBest mobile app to submit a claim for my cat's illness visit to her vet. The process was incredibly easy and took mere minutes (if that). I was pleasantly surprised that my reimbursement check arrived in less than a week. Almost everything from the visit was covered, with the exception of two prescriptions. I agree that they shouldn't have been covered; in hindsight, I should have declined those prescriptions by the vet as I didn't use them (which is on me, not PetsBest). I'm very happy with PetsBest and highly recommend them.
