Good Processing Time but App Issues

So glad claims are being processed in a timely manner again! Ever since I got Pets Best when I adopted my first cat 3 years ago, claims would take forever to be processed and for me to get reimbursed. My only feedback is that the app doesn’t work for me, it never loads anything. So I had to do it online, but I wish I could do it on my phone since it is more convenient that way!

We love being part of the Pets Best…

We love being part of the Pets Best plan. It saves us money on our annual vaccinations and it brings us comfort to know that we are covered if there are any unexpected health issues with our dog.

Claim completion has really gone downhill

I used to submit a claim and it would be complete within a few days. Currently I am still waiting on a claim I filed January 24th. It is February 15th.
