Easy user experience.

Your website is easy to use and my vet offers a service to file the claim on my behalf at the time of service. Combined, that makes a super easy user experience.

Quick and efficient reimbursement.

I submitted a claim for Charlie's dental cleaning. Within a week I received a check. Pets Best reimburses quickly and efficiently. I'm very happy with this insurance.

Love this process.

I am a co-owner of a pet. I was originally worried that because the Vet's invoice was in my fiancé's name and my name is on the insurance that the claim could not be filed. However, I was able to chat with a representative and they assured me that I could still file the claim. Being able to take and upload a photo of the invoice made it so incredibly simple. Love, love, love this process!
