Quite impressed

Very pleased and quite impressed with the quick TAT of my claim payment. I even mailed the claim in and still was most impressed with a week TAT for receiving my payment.

Happy with our choice in insurance

My girl got her vaccinations, I took a picture of the receipt, uploaded it and all done. Efficient, easy and the payment was received without any delay. In earlier contacts with questions by phone I have been met by nice people who have answered my concerns and questions. I am overall very happy with our choice in insurance for our girl. I have recommended you guys to other people many times ;-)

Explained my policies

My first policy with you was with my Brinkley; then we added Catie; both I assumed were under the same policy number. When Brinkley passed away, and we purchased Tucker, I assumed the policy no. would stay the same. The telephone call explained why.

From my call to confirm how to file a claim to receiving the direct deposit, Pets Best gave me peace of mind so I could focus on

When my dog got sick all I thought about was getting her better. Then I thought about the funds. I reached out to Pets Best. It’s been our pet insurer for over 13 years, for our pug who lived a nice long life, and now for our Pomeranian who’s five. When I went to the website it seemed too simple so I called to confirm what to do. It was as simple as I had read. I submitted two paid invoices online and funds were deposited into my bank account very soon after. I am so thankful to have Pets Best as our insurer. I’ve recommended this company to family and friends who are also very pleased.
