Everything was easy

Everything was easy I just wish the refund was quicker, it used to be but the last few claims took around 11-12 for the money to show up in my bank.

Thanks for being there for us

dealing with my second golden retriever in 8 months with life threatening cancer issues; lost Augie back in late December and now recovering from surgery with River who was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma and will have to undergo chemo- he us almost 7 yrs old. It relieves a good amount of stress knowing that Pets Best will help us out substantially with the costs that we will continue to incur with these tough situations .. Thanks for being there for us— you are much appreciated and I always let people with pets know about you!
