Claims are quick and easy to understand

I have two puppies and both are on Wellness Plans and Insurance Plans. So, I've been submitting a lot of claims lately with vaccines and spays and all the puppy stuff. The process is quick and easy to understand. I'm completely happy with my decision to go with Pets Best. I always tell my friends to get on it!

Our vet submitted our claim and the process was very smooth

Our Golden Retriever puppy had a "dietary indiscretion", she ingested the head of a razor. Our vet submitted our claim for us and within the week, we had a deposit in our checking account. The explanation of benefits was easy to read and understand. The process was VERY smooth, and all is right with our puppy.

PetsBest coverage is amazing

I don't take surveys or leave reviews at all but I've had PetsBest for a while now and it just auto debits my account, take my dog to the vet, pay the bill, submit, done. There's never any questions asked, I pay the deductible and that's that, the coverage works amazing and I am proud to say I am a pets best customer for life, I appreciate everything you guys have done for me. Anytime I've had questions or needed help and called in I've always been helped by someone who completely knew what they were doing and talking about. I thank you pets best!
