Very impressed

Very impressed with the handling of my first claim. All I did was take a photo of my vet's statement and emailed to Pets Best. I was kept abreast of the processing of claim and had payment in less than a week.

I am absolutely delighted

I am absolutely delighted with Pets Best for my Dog Sherman! I have had this insurance for a year now and I have not written a review because i wanted to wait and really give my full experienced review. I have to say they have been very honorable, and Sherman even had to have a broken tooth fixed amongst a few other unfortunate illnesses over this past year and Pets Best has pulled through for me without a Doubt! I highly recommend them, they have been a saving grace to my bank account and have helped me provide the care needed for Sherman. I researched and I was overwhelmed and stressed out by having to choose pet insurance and I really feel I choose the right one. Thank you Pets Best.....! Rest assured Pet owners you will be happy with this company as I am and my Chocolate Lab Sherman is!

I love this company

I know nothing about insurance, but knew I needed to get it for my puppy just in case. It was honestly the best decision I ever made. Whenever I have questions - which is a lot of the time - I sign onto my account and chat with the customer service team. I get clear answers that I can understand and an email of the conversation sent to me. I've never had a problem or a situation where the customer service representative didn't know the answer. They are so helpful. I also love how much they cover. Between the monthly flea, tick, heart worm, and getting my dog spayed - the amount I've been reimbursement is incredible. I can't express how much I appreciate and love this company.
