Amazing company!

I have had pet insurance before and have been frustrated and disappointed. We got pets best insurance when we got our new puppy. I chose the 90% coverage w/$250 deductible with no lifetime cap and also included some preventative medication. Unfortunately, I've had to file 2 large claims! One for intestinal blockage. He ate a piece of a toy. The second claim was for a very serious dog bite that nearlu killed him. The vet bill was over $10,000.00. The company was recently acquired so I was concerned they would find a way to decline my claim. They paid it! (they took a bit longer than the first claim but there were a lot of charges and records to review.) What a relief! We are still working on rehabilitation but knowing pets best took care of us really is a big relief! We will be getting a new puppy next week and I will, immediately add him to our policy!!! I have referred pets best to many of my friends.

Exactly what I want

This was exactly what I want in a claims process. Simple, quick, and easy to understand. Just log on, fill out the form, upload the receipt, and boom done. The only thing I'd like more would be an email letting me know when it was accepted. I got these in the past, but not for this most recent one.
