Very impressed and happy with Pets Best

I've only had the insurance a little over a week and already used the wellness plan for a neutering, microchip and heartworm test. They reimbursed me with the exact amounts the plan described, through direct deposit in 3 business days. The Pets Best iPhone app works great. I did everything within the app, I submitted my claim, added my dogs photo, and you can update any pet or owner info with it. So far I'm very happy with the insurance.
