Keep coming back

This is our 2nd policy with your company. We have been happy with the services both times. Keep up the good work. The communication is a plus for me, and it seems to be yours as well. Thank you.

Fast, caring and supportive response to my claim.

I've had my four (4) cats insured with Pets Best since November 2018. The cost of their premiums is very reasonable, as all of my cats at that time were under the age of five. When my oldest cat, Oscar, required eye surgery recently...Pets Best was very easy to use. The filing process with documentation is easy (assuming you have a scanner) and their response time was very good. In the interim, I was always kept apprised of the progress of my claim. I did have need to utilize the on-line chat feature of their website and it helped greatly answering my questions with understandable and concise answers.
