Easy claim filing

My vet is the one who submits the claim, and I love the fact that I get an email stating they received the claim and will be processing. Then another email letting me know the claim has been processed along with the eob.

Aging Pupper

Because I have a large, pure bred dog (typically prone to more health issues) , I obtained pet insurance for the first time, researching extensively and choosing Pets Best. Though I did not choose the highest plan, I am more than happy with the reimbursement I've received. The response time is good and on the one occasion that I needed to talk to customer service to provide them with more information, they were extremely personable and professional. I have recommended Pets Best to friends. Thank you!

Reimbursed quickly

Peyton started having seizures when she was barely a year old. I was totally freaked out by the seizures and how much it was going to cost. I was so relieved to find out Pet's Best would cover a good portion of the bill. It alleviated a lot of stress and I could focus on Peyton. She's had several episodes since and each time I was reimbursed quickly. Thanks!
