My basset hound has had an ongoing ear…

My basset hound has had an ongoing ear infection for over a year. I've submitted thousands of dollars to of bills to Pets Best, for everything from medication to specialist visits to surgeries. Pets Best has paid all of them without quibbling, usually within 3-5 days of my submitting the claim.

Worth it

Terms of the insurance are clearly explained. Reimbursement process is easy and quick. Having this insurance ensured my cat received life-saving emergency surgery. Very happy with this company!

SO HAPPY with Pets Best

I recently switched from another pet health insurance company to Pets Best. I have been SO HAPPY with Pets Best! They are attentive to my needs, and were very quick to respond to my claim submission. I received my reimbursement - direct deposit - which I had requested - within four or five days of submitting the claim. I will definitely refer my friends who have pets to Pets Best Health Insurance!

Quick response

Thank you for your quick response for the claim for Big Kitty's eye surgery. The first claim for the same related issue a few months back took quite a few weeks to verify, which I can understand—but it made me a bit concerned about how long this claim would take. However, undoubtedly due to the previous verification process, it was paid within a few quick days. Thanks!
