Pets Best makes it easy to file a claim.

Having insurance for my boxer is such a relief when something happens that requires veterinary care. Pets Best makes it so easy to file a claim And the response and settlement it's so quick. I tell everyone that has a pet or is thinking of getting a pet that the first thing they need to do is sign up for Pets Best insurance.

Worst Customer service

I joined PB 2 weeks ago and honestly I would not recommend it to anyone. I called customer service 3 o 4 times after my routine claim was submitted a week ago and no activity. I did not called because I need it but becuase every time I called one rep left more confused than the previous one. Rep Penny was great !! She was the only one that was able to help when enrolling and I spoke to her last on regards to the claim (4th call ). Almost 2 weeks after submitting the routing claim - I am still waiting. They have questions for my vet and claim that he doesn’t answer, yet I call with PB on the line and the receptionist at the vet picks up with in the first two rings

Everything was great.

Everything was great except for the amount. I did not understand why the claim amount was lower than what I had thought it should be & no explanation of why there was a cap on that service.
