Pets Best is excellent.

This was the 3rd or 4th claim I filed for separate incidents and the response from Pet's Best has always been excellent. I am completely satisfied with their service.

Very easy claims process.

I filled out the claim form online and uploaded my receipts which was a very easy process. I was notified a few days later that the claim was approved with a very specific explanation of benefits. The funds were in my account a few days after I filed the claim.

Informative process.

Was kept informed of all decisions and was able to correct mistakes I made on the claim. Was also reminded to fix mistakes!!

Quick turn around and easy followup

My dog began limping after chasing squirrels, and knew it was serious when he began wailing when we tried to pick him up. Upon our visit to the vet, we found out our pup has torn his ACL ligament. We opted for an Xray, medication and some initial injections to help with ligament damage. Shortly after, we submitted a claim and received a quick turn around from Pets Best. I'm glad we opted for a service that prioritized customer experience.

You guys are awesome.

You guys are awesome. My dog at GUM, xylitol gum, which absolutely kills. Knowing that no matter what the damage was, that I would have some help with the expensive bills put my mind at ease. (We have literally ONE after hours emergency clinic here in Fairbanks, Alaska... so we PAY) He is just fine today, I got lucky :) Thank you, I recommend you guys to everyone I know that is getting a pet~!~~~~!!!!!!
