Pets Best is the BEST

Over the past year, Hermes had a number of health issues. It was very comforting to know that his vet bills would be covered and in fact he reached the policy limit during toward the end of the year. He passed away on June 3, but I am ever grateful that he received the optimal care and love throughout his life. One of my other cats and one of my dogs also reached his policy limit so I saved a great deal of money during the year by having such great pet insurance. Pets Best is the BEST.

Very easy to submit a claim

Very easy to submit a claim and you get immediate notification it has been received. The time for review has lengthened with the new owners. The notification is as clear as it was before however once you receive it.
