Took over a month to get it processed

I had to call three times about my two claims for Willow before they were reviewed and processed. My vet responded with the records the same day they were requested but I had to call to get you to request the records, then again to get the claim reviewed after I knew you had received them. It took over a month to get it done. I wonder if it would still be sitting there as "received" if I hadn't kept calling.

Easy & prompt

We really like even just the option of insurance for our pet! And Pets Best is easy to work with, prompt in payment & easy to understand the reason for payment & reason for certain items not covered. We will be adding another pet soon.

Pet insurance

Pets Best Insurance is great. I had another dog insurance that worked differently and only for major things. I like how they cover more things and some preventive things. My chocolate lab likes it also.
