Very good insurance

I’ve had pets best insurance ever since I first brought my puppy home. It’s a good value for what you pay and they quickly process your claims. Only reason I didn’t give them a 10/10 is there is a $5,000 annual limit. However, they monthly price is much lower then other insurance because of this.

I had a good Experience

My poor Dachshund dislocated her hip. Thank goodness for PetsBest. I sent in my claims..... very easy with the App. They paid my big and small claims I sent in. If you don’t want to call them they even respond through text message. The company is good and Like any insurance company make sure you review your contract and ask questions before purchasing to see which plan works best for you.

I was apprehensive at first since this was my first time filing a claim. I was half expecting a low reimbursement but I was very pleased!! I made the right choice in choosing Pets Best!!

No hassle, no questions asked.

My cat, Leonidas, broke his leg in two places right before Christmas. He had to have surgery to properly repair it. We are so grateful we didn't even have to think twice about the cost of the surgery or anything other than getting Leo better. We knew we were covered. I filed the claim on a Friday and the reimbursement was in my account on Wednesday. No hassle, no questions asked. Leo is much better now and trying to stay out of trouble.

Extremely easy and timely.

My dog had to stay overnight to be treated for HGE. The vet bill was very expensive and past my $1000 deductible. A few days later, I put in a claim. The claims process was extremely easy and simple. Within a few days the claim had processed. There was a break down of how everything was covered. Unfortunately, my direct deposit did not go through and I just received a paper check two weeks later. Other than that, the process was extremely easy and timely.
