Thanks for the help!

My precious 7 lb Yorkie, Gidget has been the delight of our lives, but she's had numerous health issues over the past 13 1/2 years. I'm grateful we had purchased health insurance for Gidget, not ever expecting her to have so many health issues. Thanks for the help we received from Pets Best Insurance, we have been able to get the treatment she's needed over the past 13 1/2 years. Which has been very expensive. I would recommend purchasing Pets Best Insurance to anyone who loves their animal, who seeks the best of care for them. Without Pets Best Insurance we might not have been able to afford the care she's received. Pets Best Insurance has definitely been a blessing in getting the best of care for her.

Processed within days

I went to the vet with my dog and it was just a wellness check that he gets every year. I sent pictures in of my receipt on the app to the insurance company and they got back to me within 10 minutes saying that my claim has been received and within a couple days they sent me another email saying I'd receive a check.

Couldn't be easier

Extremely easy to submit claims, and we had our reimbursement paid promptly. Couldn't be easier.

As Advertised

I just switched from another company who just didn't follow through on my claims. So it was very satisfying to see the Pets Best actually did pay for Buddy's annual checkup/vaccines just as advertised. I chose to file via mail and had no problems whatsoever. Emails kept me informed on the status. I'm very pleased that I switched.
