Claim handled promptly.

When making a decision as to which carrier to use for pet insurance, your company was the easiest to understand re: what is covered and what wasn't. My claim was handled very promptly.

Pets Best is responsive.

Once again, Pets Best was responsive and very clear in its communications about my recent claims (Sept. 2018). I am especially impressed by the special emails sent out alerting customers that there would be a slight delay in processing due to heavy volume. Hope that's due to increased business!

Only positive experiences.

Now with both of our two corgis, Corky and Tasha, insured with Pets Best, we have only had positive experiences. Corky is no longer with us and we hope to continue to maintain Tasha, a rescue, in the best of health.
