Very pleased with Pets Best

We have filed two claims with Pets Best covering our cat Tristan. In both cases they were quickly responsive when receiving our claims and paying back a fair portion of our costs. They were particularly prompt in re-imbursement following Tristan's death in May. I am very pleased with Pets Best as an insurer and would recommend them to anyone.

Once the Doctor's office submitted the claim, Pets Best notified me immediately, kept me updated on the status of the claim and paid the claim very promptly with the money being deposited directly into my account. it's a very easy and efficient process. Thank you

Offers direct deposit

I have notified that my claim had arrived, quite immediately after I submit the claims form. I was given a Pet's Best account which I can peruse at my leisure. When the reimbursement is paid, it is accompanied with an explanation as to how the claim was processed. My dog's premium is charged to my card monthly so that I don't have to write a check. Pets Best also offers direct deposits, for which I declined (for my own reasons), but it is convenient to have.
