Very satisfied

I was so worried when my puppy started limping and the diagnosis was surgery and then the cost was $2500 so I did a pre authorization and got approved before setting the surgery date and it all went smooth I had a check in the mail 2 days after the claim was approved. Very satisfied

PetsBest makes decision making easier

My dog was diagnosed with a serious disease, suddenly and unexpectedly. He is quite young and his diagnosis required and continues to require ongoing medical attention including surgeries, medications and continuing medical monitoring. The financial responsibility gas been enormous....thankfully, PetsBest has made these challenging days of decision making and care easier. I cannot be more appreciative for the responsiveness for my claims and the cooperation in working with my veterinarian. I have recommended PetsBest to many. Thank you!

Streamlined claims process

The website is very easy to understand, and the claims process is streamlined. I took a picture of my vet bill, attached it to the claim, and within a week or less had a check in the mail.

Very pleased with the service

I have two of my Jap Chins dogs insured by Pets Best. One of them, Lola had been sick a few times. She needed surgery in one of her eyes a few months ago and a month ago she had trace of blood in her urine. Lola had eye surgery and payment from Pets Best was received after deductible as expected. Then she had to be taken to the regular vet for the urine blood trace and again consultation, medications and test were paid by Pets Best as expected. Very pleased with the service.
