I a new to Pets Best

I a new to Pets Best. I am displeased with my coverage. I have a neighbor who is a member for several years and her items are always covered. Her and my dog went and had the same conditions. My refund was only $100 something from a $700 bill. Beyond unfair. Would not recommend this insurance to anyone. Also the turn around time was unbelievable. Just to get that kind of repayment was unbelievable.

I expect claims to be processed in a timely manner. 2 weeks is my expectation. However consistently Pets Best has taken more like 6 weeks. I am extremely disappointed in this processing time and will be dropping them as soon as I can find a new insurance.
