Claim for Greyson

The process went very smooth. Pet’s Best notified and apologized for the delay in processing. They notified me along the way with requesting documents from vet etc.. one they received what they needed, the claim was settled within 3 business days. Pet’s Best covered what thought should have been after my deductible. What wasn’t covered I was aware of, already however Pet’s Best explained why something wasn’t covered. Overall really satisfied with the entire process.

Great insurance!

"My treasured dog has been healthy his whole 9 years until suddenly he had 3 problems at once: pain in back end, wouldn't eat and low energy. He has been on 7 visits to emergency and specialists and so far Pets Best is covering his first claims promptly. I really appreciate their help!"

I have the most expensive plan and it…

I have the most expensive plan and it never covers even a 3rd of the yearly physical vet bill. I'm going to cancel because it costs too much and I get barely nothing for reimbursements.
