Smooth processing

Claims are processed swiftly and customer service is professional and helpful. My most recent claim for my pup's ACL surgery was processed and paid within 3 weeks of the surgery. Bills are sent through Pet Bests app and they contact doctors for detailed info.

Quick payout

Our small Miniature Schnauzer was severely injured in a pit bull attack, but thanks to the insurance's quick reimbursement process, we were able to provide her with the necessary medical treatment without worrying about the cost. As a result, we were able to welcome our little family member back home in good health once again. She was hospitalized in two different hospitals for about two weeks, and the medical expenses for the hospital she was admitted to later were reimbursed first. I believe that the speed of insurance payments significantly depends on the responsiveness of the hospitals.
