Simple and quick claims.

Submitting a claim was very simple and the response was very quick. I am so glad that I purchased this plan. I gives me peace of mind that I have this policy for my pet.

Pets Best made insurance easy.

Finding insurance can be hard for a pet, but you made it easy. Yodi is my best friend and you help me take care of him and make it easy.

Would like more notification on reimbursement.

I found out that my claim had been paid when I checked my credit card statement. I just was surprised that I hadn't received notice from Pets Best. It's not a big problem but it would have been nice to be notified.

The process took longer than expected.

The process took quite a long time. I thought it would be a process that happened a little more quickly.
