It's very easy to submit claims

It's very easy to submit claims. It would be helpful, however, to have access to see where you with your deductible after each claim. Also, I usually receive an email when the claim is complete and an explanation. This time I did not, and had to log in to see the status.

Best decision I ever made!

I am so glad that I chose Pets Best over the other pet insurance companies that I researched and that I got the insurance when we first got our puppy (lowest premium). They have paid me back just as much in claims as I have paid them in premiums! Claim filing is fast and easy and love their mobile site.

Amazingly fast reimbursement!

Having never had pet insurance, I wasn't sure what to expect with the reimbursement process. I was pleasantly surprised that within 3 business days I received confirmation of that reimbursement. Thank you Pets Best.
