Pets Best covering visits and medicines.

Since my dogs are now 10 years old my premiums have gone up substantially and I was contemplating discontinuing my policies. My Shepard has now developed some skin issues and it's nice to see that my policy is covering his visits and medicines. Now rethinking on keeping the policies for my two dogs 😊

Very happy with my experience.

At first, I was a little concerned that it was going to take up to 21 days to be reimbursed for my claim, but I literally received a response that it was approved the same day and the money was back in my account within 3 days. Very happy and satisfied with this experience! Pets Best covered all but $70 of my Routine Care claim! Saved me a TON of money! Thank you!
