With Pets Best I always received a quick response to a claim as well as a refund.

I had previously signed up with another pet insurance company, but it was very expensive and they payouts were infrequent. When I changed to Pets Best I was surprised to see a quick response and almost always a check. I would highly recommend Pets Best for your pet.

Great Expreience

Great Expreience! I was surprised that my claim was approved the same day that I submitted it. I am also surprised that it was paid as my policy stated. I have had trouble with previous companies not paying what they said that they would.

Wellness

My dogs first wellness checkup was last Thursday. I made a claim at noon and it was accepted and a check was sent by the end of that day. The check arrived today, Monday. All qualifying charges were paid in full, $169.00 I am delighted. Thank you Pets Best.

Quick accurate payment

I got pet insurance for my puppy several weeks after I got here. I decided to do the Wellness plan as well and it has been great. They are very quick with claim acceptance, clear with reasons why they will or won't pay and I receive my payment in my bank acct within a couple days. Overall a wonderful experience!
