The time it takes to be processed is long

The time it takes to be processed is so long. Still waiting on a claim to be processed especially. Submitted a couple claims the same day cause I forgot to do them earlier and got most of them back already but still waiting. And I think in some cases there could be a better explanation of why I’m not getting money. And sometimes it feels like every time I submit a claim it’s just goes towards deductible every time and I get nothing back but when it doesn’t say towards deductible I get a decent amount back but it feels I don’t get back what I should, but then again my pups haven’t had anything major until this last claim I haven’t received so that’ll be the main test especially since the deductible is supposed to paid. But its still great that I get something back

3 episodes in a short period

My poor dog had 3 episodes in a short period. I submitted the receipts and Pets Best paid out all 3 within a month. I’m very happy with Pets Best.
