Unexepected overnight ER visit…

I had an unexpected overnight ER visit for an ingested object that was quite expensive. But the process to submit a claim online was so easy. I received my 80% repayment of the ER bill (less my deductible) about 3 weeks later. It made a stressful situation so much easier to manage. I'm so glad I got the Pets Best policy.

Excellent Service

Dog went to the vet for a cough on 8/14. Submitted the bill that day, money was direct deposited into my account on 8/28. Everything was smooth from start to finish. They covered everything they said they would. Very happy.

I am new to Pets Best so i havn't used…

I am new to Pets Best so i havn't used it yet, just reading the reviews here ....I adopted my dog back in Dec. of 2021. He is 7 years old an I got the accident only for him so far. He is a small mixed Chi dog an is only 6 pounds. I was glad they offered accident only for him because he has no teeth so i don't have need of any of the other insurance parts. He had a check up when i got him an he is in good health. I really don't believe in all those vaccines etc. for him as he is to little an they would make him sick so i am very careful what i give him . But ya never know about accidents they happen so i am glad they offered that. He also sees a chiropracter an is doing well. Hope it works out for us. I will write another review if anything happens to let everyone know how we did. God Bless to all pets an pet parents.....Happy to be a part of this an pray it works out for us. He is a good boy an we are doing well together....:-)
