Pets Best has great pricing.

We just lost our last dog to cancer and didn't have pet emergency insurance because she was only 5, which we thought was too young. Fast forward to our newest dog that we adopted from the shelter. We knew she would need the annual shots/vaccines etc. and wanted insurance for emergencies that might cover some of the wellness too, but that didn't cost more than the shots! Pets Best had great pricing compared to the other insurances out there. We got back about 1/2 of Kaylee's first big wellness visit for her vaccines and check-up. Very satisfied.

Fast claims processing.

The claims processing is much faster than the last few times and I appreciate that. Vets are charging crazy prices and it would be nice if they would be more transparent about what they charge and be more consistent. I'm not a fan of the way vets handle pricing (pricing does not equate to quality of care) so it's nice to be reimbursed quickly if paying exorbitant pricing
