Grateful

This last claim was for reimbursement of medication. I am grateful Pets Best will reimburse for compounded medicines. They are more expensive but my pets take the compounded medicine much easier then regular pills.

I feel very good about my policy

I feel very good about my Pets Best Policy. I have a very valuable service dog and best friend! I can't imagine not having the benefit of health insurance for him. Thanks for the service you provide.

Very pleased

I was very pleased with the quick response and reimbursements. I forgot to submit my claims so I was pleasantly surprised that there was no date limit. Thank you

I am very disappointed in the Ins after having it for 11yrs. They are users to get your money only.

I am very disappointed in the Ins after having it for 11yrs. I looked over all the billings and see bills paid in 2018 but I never got a letter from you saying the Cushing had run out.. Since that was her issue I would have dropped you as you never paid much on any of them. Sad that I kept getting billings from you however and you even wanted to raise it this year ..FOR WHAT you wouldn't have paid anything.. I lost my beloved baby and you never even offered to pay for her Cremation process. But you want people to get your Ins. I see Pets really doesn't matter, its all about the money you collect.
