Happy to have my pet insured

I have had an Unfortunate passing of our flat coated retriever from Lymphoma, Luckily I had PetsBest to pickup the bills once he was diagnosed at 3.5yrs. they also covered his cremation expenses. We got another puppy a few months later because the void was too big for the kiddos. immediately, I have purchased Insurance for him. only to discover a few months later that he has elbow dysplasia... OH BOY! I'm so lucky I have decided to yet again to buy Insurance! The one think i wish BestPets were able to do is to pay directly to the Veterinarian.

Long claim turnaround time

I originally submitted my claim on August 14th and it took nearly a month for a resolution. This was for a $1,300.00 bill. If I didn't have the money to pay this bill upfront, I would be in a lot of trouble. I do not like the turnaround times for claims. It also took a long time for me to get a resolution on a basic neuter for my puppy. Not happy.

Thank You!

My cat, Scout, after losing weight for a year, was diagnosed with Clostridium Perfringens. Having PetsBest insurance allowed us to get her the treatment and medications she needed to get well. Your staff, both on the phone and by email, was considerate, informed and helpful. I have since recommended PetsBest to my neighbors and friends, several of whom have bought policies for their pets. Thank you for your excellent service and quick response to my needs. It’s frightening when our little ones get sick so, having your insurance, gives us real peace of mind.

It took a month to have my claimed…

It took a month to have my claimed reimbursed. It’s funny how you want payment with the quickness yet cannot complete the work for the customer in a timely fashion

Pets Best really is the best!

Pets Best has taken really good care of my pup. They communicate well, especially if they are behind on processing claims. They have made caring for a dog with an autoimmune condition easier than it would be without insurance! So very thankful for them.
