Reassured in the claims process

My cat needed to go to the vet for a kidney stone, throwing up, etc. last minute. After taking her, I was able to file the claim extremely easy. First I printed out the documents to fill out, but then realized I did not even need to do that. I just needed the bill and that was it. I did not expect for the claims to be processed as quickly as it was, it took about a day. Overall, I am extremely Reassured considering all the negative reviews I have read about people not being reimbursed reassured considering all the negative reviews I have read about people not being reimbursed

Easy and fast process

I am technologically challenged and was concerned a claim would be difficult to file. I don't even know what the formats you asked for meant. But I took pics of the needed info, attached them to the form, and like magic I was done. The response time was very fast. Wish people insurance was so easy.

The claims process is very easy

The claims process is very easy for me to do online, and I received my funds through direct deposit which is very convenient. Thank you!

Everything was quick and easy

In a time that was super stressful, my dog having to go to the hospital because she ate something she wasn't supposed to, was made easy with PetsBest. Everything was quick and easy, I just logged in, uploaded the invoice from the hospital, and not long after we received the check in the mail. It couldn't have been smoother. It's also nice to know that we didn't have to stress about the money we were spending to help our pet. Thank you PetsBest. I wish there were a few more days to file an accident claim. With everything being so chaotic, it could be easy to miss the date.

Pets Best is the best insurance

We had a huge bill due to the fact that our Great Dane Piper got injured and had to spend several days at our CARE emergency pet clinic. Pet's Best processed our claim without any undue problems.
