This was easy

Boy this was easy. Angie's monthly Heartworm Flea and Tick meds. Took me maybe 3 minutes to sign in to your app, take picture of the bill, submit it, and then you directly deposited into my checking account within 2 days. Perfect!! I am very happy with Pets Best!

Difficult and Complicated Process- not what was advertised. Would never recommend.

It took more than three weeks for my claim to be reviewed due to "unusually high volume". I supplied all requested records and the company requested more. The entire process was not efficient, but was complicated and frustrating. Regardless of my claim being denied, I found customer service inadequate and the delays extensive.
