Pets Best Exceeds Expectations!!!

We have two yellow labs, 7-1/2 months of age. I chose Pets Best since the reviews were positive and I am a Farmers Ins customer also. I loved the fact that Pets Best allowed me to customize the level of insurance to meet our needs. Really flexible. We chose a deductible, coverage and premium that we were comfortable with. In the short time we’ve had our labs, each of them has had an emergency care situation. It was very comforting to know we would have some assistance in the costs for these events. Submitting a claim was so easy! Response and communication was prompt. Reimbursement was was right on time! Can’t imagine anything better! Very happy!
