Pets Best Pet Health Insurance

Pets Best Pet Health Insurance has been great for as long as I have been with them. They are mostly very quick in getting the claims handled, and if not able to process for whatever reason, they let you know right away so you are aware! Never had any issues with them in any way. Always thorough explanations and a good understanding of what is happening. I think I have been with them for over 10 years and have always been completely satisfied with their service.

Quick responsiveness

They are quick to respond and quick to resolve claims. I started using them 7 years ago, then stopped because I honestly thought my dog doesn't really need this. Sure enough, she got super sick 6 months later and after a $5,000 vet bill, I regretted leaving. However, when I got my second dog, I immediately put her on this plan and will not ever take her off. I've heard about other pet insurance companies through friends - I feel this one is THE BEST!
