I was so surprised at how quickly my claim was processed!

I had to use my insurance for the first time. It was so easy. All I had to do was upload a photo of the bill. It was processed in 1 day and the payment was deposited right into my account.

I am so happy we purchase pet insurance…

I am so happy we purchase pet insurance for our animals from Pets best. It is a relief knowing they are there to cover vet bills when it is necessary to take them to the vet. Petsbest is efficient with the turn around times for claims. Thanks Petsbest for making it possible for my pets to have happy, healthy lives.

Claim submission is a breeze

Claim submission is a breeze. Snap a pic of your receipt with the iPad, log in to Pet's Best, attach the pic, send the claim. I received my submission email immediately and a couple of days later I received my email with my explanation of benefits. Benefits were direct deposited to my account the next day. What's not to love?

A welcoming gift

It has been a difficult decision to go ahead and get cruciate ligament repair done on our poor dog. Having the support of Pets Best insurance was a helpful factor since his surgery was very expensive. Once I submitted claim, I did stress for few days to see if it would be covered and after only 3 days I received reimbursement. It was such a welcoming gift. Thank you.
