Pets Best Insurance provides top notch…

Pets Best Insurance provides top notch service and has a great follow through to all that they promise. They are by the book and they cover what they say they will cover and do not cover what is "uncovered". Overall, I have had a great experience and have referred many people to Pets Best. Best value pet insurance out there!

I’ve had two claims so far. One took one day to process; the other took almost two weeks. That’s quite a difference. Also, you have a single reimbursement value for vaccinations. With a puppy, that value is minute when compared to the initial series of vaccinations required. There ought to be a one-time higher reimbursement value for puppy vaccinations. Customer service reps are very nice and very knowledgeable.
