Simple and efficient as it always is

Our Bodhi had diarrhea for two days straight and then started vomiting. It was a long holiday weekend so we couldn't wait for Monday. I was concerned about dehydration becoming an issue. So, as he didn't appear to be getting better, we decided to go ahead and take him to the emergency vet. The vet did a great job explaining our options and was thorough with the examination. She had some concerns that it might be an obstruction. We were sent home with some meds and told to observe Bodhi over the next few days. We changed his food and with the medication, he started eating again. He started going to the bathroom normally and stopped vomiting. He has been great over the last few weeks. The claims process was simple and efficient as it always is. Thank you!

Pets Best processes claims very quickly

Pets Best processes claims very quickly. The denial of my last few claims alerted me to check my coverage and indeed it was a correct denial for non-coverage of the treatment my dog received.

As good as it gets

Wonderful client services, knowledgeable client service people. The only snafu was I didn't know there was a set amount for a wellness check and by buying Heartguard, this exceeded the maximum. Would have been nice to know what the max amount was-have it posted on the site.
