Glad I made the decision

I have never had pet insurance before and I am very glad I made the decision to do so when we purchased two Olde English bulldogs. Our male swallowed a toy and had surgery which also led to an emergency stay over the weekend. Pets Best took care of everything the policy stated in a timely manner. They sent emails regarding the status of the claim and money was direct deposited as promised. Thank you

Quick response that they have received…

Quick response that they have received the claim. When they were backlogged and the processing would take longer then usual they let me know. Process is usually fast. They pay per agreement. Have choice as to amount of coverage, deductibles, etc.
