It took weeks for my claim to be processed, and then a majority of the claim wasn’t even covered bc it was considered “illness”. My dog had her regular checkup and needed her ears cleaned, nails clipped, etc.

Pets best Insurance is Exceptional

I submitted more than a dozen claims the same day dealing with multiple tests and procedures over several months for our Havanese. Every claim was reviewed in detail, additional info from the Vet sought by PetsBest where appropriate; and claims were decided in an accurate fair and timely way. Exceptional service.

Very happy with PetsBest

My kitties are just 3 yrs old but I’ve been very happy with PetsBest. Claims are paid on time actually pretty quickly. The money is in my bank account within 10 days as a direct deposit. Claims are very easy to submit as well. Takes just a few minutes. The one time I didn’t need to speak to them the man I spoke to was very helpful and helping me pick which plan would be best for my cats. He was actually great.
