Never a problem

My cat has hyper thyroid issues. She needs monitoring with blood tests and daily medication. She is doing great now. I save her bills for three months and then email them in claims. There has never been any problems with the claims. Very easy claim filing system.

Pets Best reimbursed for two surgeries

Our six year old dog tore his ACL and MCL in one leg and two months later tore the other leg. A friend’s dog had same surgery with insurance from another provider and they were denied coverage. Pets Best reimbursed us for both surgeries. We were so very happy. That was the first time we had used the insurance and well with the six years of being a member.

Quick turn around

All my claims I have made were easy and the turn around time letting me know my claim had been received and the decision was quick. I wasn't sure what medical problems Shayla would have because she is a rescue and you never know when you don't have records of the dog. With Pet Best, I am confident they will be by Shayla's side all the way no matter how big or small her medical problems might be. When I have called a representative, they have been very courteous and very helpful.
