Very easy process to file the claim. Overall, very satisfied. Thank you! This was my first experience with Pet Insurance! This is our only child, we wanted to make sure we could afford healthcare for him if he needed it!

So far so good!!

I have only had petsbest since February but so far my experience has been good. The price is great and the wellness package is worth it (I have medium-large dogs and their regular flea medicine is expensive). I did my first reimbursement a couple months ago, and even thought it didn't take that long for it to be approved, the customer service was great in that they would send me emails letting me know that my request had been received and they were working on it as soon as possible.
