This is the first health plan for a pet that moves around with their owner

This is the first health plan for a pet that I have bought and I'm happy with their service. Even though it is on a refund basis, I like the fact that you don't have to stay with the same vet for it to work. Since buying the insurance I have moved states and that was no problem for them. I have also flown out of state and I trust that they will be there to help/refund if it is needed. When I get another pet, I am planning on buying them the Pets Best Pet Health Insurance the moment I bring them home.

Kind explanation

I didn't meet my deductible and was explained thoroughly on why I wasn't refunded with an attachment of my account. I appreciated the kind explanation.

Exceptional!

I submitted my claim on 1/15, immediately informed it had been received, and on 1/17 I received the EOB. Pets Best Service, in the 3 years I've had it, has been exceptional. I HIGHLY recommend Pets Best!
