I have only praise for Pets Best

I have only praise for Pets Best. Unfortunately I have a dog that has been diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and it is a process of elimination with tests and treatments to diagnose. Fortunately there was Pets Best to pay for the numerous expenses. I am so thankful for this insurance. And the process to file a claim is so easy and payment is usually received within just a few days. Keep up the great work.

The claim was processed very quickly

The claim was processed very quickly. I was so worried about my baby and for Pets Best to process my claim so quickly ease some anxiety. Was sent to them on a Saturday and by Monday it had been processed and reimbursement was pending in my bank. Can not ask for anything more. Just a great company to have looking out for you and your pet.
