I will use Pets Best again

We had to say goodbye to our best friend, Boba Rex. I was unsure of whether or not euthanasia/cremation was covered under our policy but sent in anyway. I was waiting to cancel the policy for him until I received word on his final claim. I was surprised to see the majority was covered, as well, as then Boba Rex's pet's policy was cancelled and we were given a prorated refund, which I did not expect. It made the whole process of having to deal with putting my dog down so much easier. Thank you. I will continue to use Pets Best for my other animals.

Appreciate the speedy response

We received the check within days of submitting the claim. We appreciate the speedy response. Do think the premium is way too high. It has increased so much over the last couple of years that we may have to drop it.

Great claims experience

We have had a great experience. It's easy to file claims, the claims we expect to be paid have been paid, and we have received payment promptly.

The whole process was so simple and easy

The whole process was so simple and easy. I logged on to the app to research "how to file a claim" and discovered it was as easy as snapping a picture of my detailed receipt, answering a few questions and clicking submit. I got immediate notification that my claim was received, got an email a few days later with the explanation of benefits and payment was in my account shortly after that. It is so reassuring to know I no longer have to worry about taking my darling doggie to the vet. Thanks Pets Best!
