Outstanding!

Could not imagine what we would do without Pets Best Insurance. Our Chico got very ill this summer and the veterinary bills just mounted. Having Pets Best Insurance helps enormously. Every time I have had to call, the operators were friendly and very knowledgeable. Can't thank you all enough.

Speedy service and quick reimbursement

When I took out this insurance, I was hoping I wouldn't have to use it. But my beloved Sadie developed a mass on her gum that was removed and diagnosed to be a malignant melanoma. I was heart-broken and the bills just for the diagnosis were high. I submitted my first claim and was amazed at how quickly Pets Best responded - within a week I had my reimbursement. The last claim was processed and I had only sent it in two days ago. Very, very happy with the service and would recommend it to anyone.

This was my first claim so paid more of the bill then I anticipated. Very relieved by that. So far so good.

Quick response on claims.

Very happy with the quick response I received to my claims. Just found out by logging into my account that the last two claims were processed and am awaiting for my bank to receive payment. This was less than a week! The quick response helps so I can pay off the card that I used to pay for Sadie's care. Thank you!
