Smooth to file claims

The claims process was very easy and smooth and I got a response in less than 48 hours! Anything that was not covered was fully explained and the math behind the reimbursement was very easy to follow.

Pets Best provides great service

I have been a Pets Best customer before. This claim was for a new pet, and was processed exactly as I expected. The contract clearly explains the process and deductable. I have been very satisfied with Pets Best in the past, and I am happy to see that you continue to provide great service.

So glad we had PetsBest!

So glad we had PetsBest! My pride and joy decided to be naughty and had to have major surgery to take 5 socks out of his belly. No one ever wants to see their pet in pain or in discomfort, but it was so reassuring to know that Murray would be "covered". I was less stressed about the bills and that let me focus all my attention on his recovery. Thank you for making it so easy and being so responsive.

Getting way way too expensive.

For a couple of years this company had fair rates for the policy. Now this year they are raising me rate by almost 1/3 or about 33%. That is unheard of in this industry. I found a better policy for far less money with excellent reviews from neighbors. So I am canceling our policy. I called the company and the customer service I talked to did not seem to care wether I changed or not. Terrible customer service.
