PetsBest is great
PetsBest has been great to work with. The claims (3 during the past 3months) were easy to file , paid promptly, and with an easy to understand EOB (explanation of benefits). I worked with another highly rated insurance company of few years ago with a different pet. I will just say that it was not a pleasant experience. I will always insure my pets with PetsBest due to the way this company handles claim. Very reliable, honest company.
