Quick and easy

Poppy received his semi-annual booster shots, a fecal exam, and a renewal of his Heartgard and Nexgard script on October 1. Process to file claim was quick and easy. Payment was in my account within two weeks. Poppy is a healthy pup!

Honest and responsive company

I have had my cocker covered since Nov 2014 with Pets Best. Customer service on the phone is excellent and reimbursements are accurate. The turnaround time on sending direct deposits has lengthened about four days. Explanation being-many new clients. The one negative is the 50 % increase in premium for the upcoming renewal in November. I was expecting a 30 % increase and find 50 % too high. And that is with 70% reimbursement. Overall, a solid insurer, superior to VPI which covered my first five rescues. So, recommended!
