No hassle claims process

Pet's Best, hands down, has the best overall coverage for my pets, and the easiest claim process I have ever dealt with! I will recommend PB to anyone looking to have insurance coverage on their babies. Thank you PB for a job well done!

Very Satisfied Customer

Over the many years that we have used Pets Best for our two kitties, the courtesy, ease, caring and professional associates were really appreciated. It's reassuring to know that our claims are taken care of in a reasonable amount of time.

They drag out claim process

They take 4 weeks to even get to your claim. Ask for stuff multiple times. Not consistent. Its like 3 different departments are working one claim. they say they never receive stuff one theres proof they did. They sold company a few years ago and its declined ever since

Do what you it takes so they can do their job.

When we have a claim, we always turn in all paper work that it takes to make our claim easy for Pets Best to process our claim. Do your job and they can do theirs. Take care of your pet's problems quick, before they get serious.

Never had an issue

I have never had an issue with Pets Best (PB). From the puppy stage to recently having to put our ~10 year old dog down, PB has always been there. The team even sent a card after our dog passed. Of all the companies I have dealt with in life, there are very few that I have come across that match PB's sincerity, customer service, and reasonableness.
