So easy using the app

Making the claim for dottie was so easy using the app! I loved not having to fill out any paperwork and having the ability to do it mobile. We filed our claim on a Friday and were reimbursed by the following Thursday, which to me was extremely fast, 4 business days to be exact. I am so thankful for Pets Best. I feel so much more secure knowing my little Dottie is covered.

I am now a believer in Pets Best insurance!

My dog Carrie broke her middle hind leg toe on the day after Christmas. ( I don't know how.) I was so surprised at how fast Pets Best reviewed the claim and issued my reimbursement. I assumed it would take much longer given that it had happened in the middle of the holidays! I have never had pet insurance before and was a little skeptical. I am now a believer in Pets Best insurance!

Peace of mind

Overall, we thought our dog had a skin infection but it went away rather quickly; however we weren't sure what it was. Because we weren't sure, we went to the vet anyway. Had we not had insurance we would not have gone but since we are paying for the extra financial support for our pooch it was easy to decide that we should have him checked out anyway. We were able to go and get peace of mind that it was a minor everyday infection and not something more concerning such as ring worm.
