Don't have to worry

I couldn't have had an easier experience with my claim. It was processed in two days and the money was in my account in three. When you are waiting to see if the tumor your dog had removed was cancerous this was one less thing to worry about!

Extremely helpful

I tried to file my claim on line for the first time. I wasn't able to upload my documents. I called and left a VM which was returned by a customer service rep. She was extremely helpful and I was given great service to get my claim filed and documents sent! Thank you very much.

Very quick with reimbursement

My baby boy Sterling had an ear infection in both ears! Poor cat had to visit the vet three times in the last couple of months. Pets Best was very quick with reimbursement for him. Tri City Vet did a great job and now after the meds and ear wash Sterling can have a Happy new Year thanks to Pets Best Cat insurance. Yes, I love my cat!
