Couldn't get any easier
My dog has diabetes and is on insulin and several other medications. When I purchase the medications, I forward my receipt to pets best via email and receive reimbursement in a few days. The process couldn't get any easier.

Pretty easy
My First time I thought it was pretty easy the only thing I didn't understand was why my 1 claim turned into two claims.

Very helpful
I had several claims. I spoke with customer Service and they were very helpful. They sent me claim forms snail mail. The form was very easy for this old person to fill out. I included vet reports and invoices. I had email responses that my claim was received, was being processed, and subsequent updates, including that my check was mailed. I received the check and details of payment. Impressive!! Good experience.
