Quick Turnaround

The quick, very quick, turnaround time to pay this last claim was fantastic. Past turnaround times had been dreadfully slow.

Absolutely amazed

Absolutely amazed! I signed up for Pets Best a week ago. My dog had their appointment yesterday, after his appointment, I downloaded the app and submitted the claim, which was super simple. The very next day they had approved it my claim! I have dealt with other dog insurance companies and have been very dissatisfied and I can say that I truly will be recommending this company to all of my friends as well as my dog training clients

The time it takes to be processed is long

The time it takes to be processed is so long. Still waiting on a claim to be processed especially. Submitted a couple claims the same day cause I forgot to do them earlier and got most of them back already but still waiting. And I think in some cases there could be a better explanation of why I’m not getting money. And sometimes it feels like every time I submit a claim it’s just goes towards deductible every time and I get nothing back but when it doesn’t say towards deductible I get a decent amount back but it feels I don’t get back what I should, but then again my pups haven’t had anything major until this last claim I haven’t received so that’ll be the main test especially since the deductible is supposed to paid. But its still great that I get something back

3 episodes in a short period

My poor dog had 3 episodes in a short period. I submitted the receipts and Pets Best paid out all 3 within a month. I’m very happy with Pets Best.
