I am happy.

I filed my claim online, downloading the invoices available. The last claim was delayed in the review process and I received an email informing me about the status and the claim was approved a few days after. I had an item not approved under a wellness claim, a faecal test which I had not done for the year. I called customer service and they realized that the heartworm test was processed under the bloodwork/faecal test benefit and not the heatworm test benefit, so the faecal test claim was reprocessed and paid. I am quite happy with the claim turnaround and payment. Also, the possibility to discuss and resolve issues through customer service.

Pets Best is allowing us to keep our dogs.

We have two dogs that have suddenly become very sick with heart disease. Pets Best is enabling us to keep the dogs around, otherwise we would have a very difficult decision. Its wise to get the insurance when you don't need it. Hopefully, you'll never need it.
