Great Insurance

I have two puppies. One puppy is mischievous and always in to everything. We have had to go to the veterinarian multiple times. When I submitted the bills to the insurance company, they kept me informed of the process and were prompt paying the bills.

First time

We have been with pets best for a few years and never had a claim. Unsure of how to file I called and asked. I was emailed full simple instructions to file. It was taken care of very quickly.
