My Yorkie-Poo and Morkie say thank you Pets Best. 5 woof woof. The Pomeranian also says Woof

I love this insurance for my pooches. However due to a mistake on my part I have a payment plan with my vet and it makes it very difficult for my claims to be reimbursed. I will call again to see how this can be resolved. I love the customer service and one of the clains was processed without any issues, Thank you for caring for my fur babies.

Pet Insurance is Useful

We purchased pet insurance when we brought home our 8 week old Goldendoodle Duncan. The first year we purchased the wellness package and Accident. Duncan got all of his shots, microchipped and spayed the first year. I tracked all the expenditures and what we were reimbursed and we broke even with the premium spent and what we were reimbursed. This is our second year and we dropped the wellness piece. We still do have the accident piece and I put the premium I was paying for wellness in a separate bank account in case we need it. They always reimbursed us in a timely fashion and I would recommend them.

One issue with my claim

One issue with my claim for Leo is that it was delayed because you needed proof of payment instead of just the itemized bill. Makes sense, however the same partial documentation was used for my other cat's claim (went to the vet together) and there was no pushback or request for additional proof of payment and the claim was fulfilled. How does that make sense?? Please be consistent on your requests.
