I love Pet’s Best

I love Pet’s Best. Submitting a claim is easy, first of all. Time to review a claim may be backed up a bit but is never as long as they say. They cover what you pay for (in terms of your insurance selection and reimbursement percentage, less deductible). Customer service is pleasant to deal with. Reimbursement payment is prompt. Pet insurance is expensive but well worth it if there is a major issue. I had another company insuring a previous dog and I can say Pet’s Best is far easier to work with. Thank you!!!

Best pet insurance

After research, I decided on Pets Best for my cat. It’s the best decision I ever made with an incredible insurance company. The sign-up process was super easy and I did not need to wait for the policy to become effective. I use the wellness benefit right away and was reimbursed in less than 24 hours. I’m so happy I discovered Pets Best.

Received reimbursements of my claims…

Received reimbursements of my claims within 3-4 weeks after my cat had an emergency, and we needed to visit veterinarians including emergency services very frequently in a short time period. The claims process was very smooth and they let you know about each step of the process. I used to have Helvetia Insurance in Germany that was automatically reimbursing the claims within a day, but I think considering the insurers have different processes here, I think Pets Best is providing a really good service.

Affordable and easy

Buying insurance with Pets Best was easy and fast. The rates are affordable and they offer a few different options for plans. Filing a claim was easy and done online within minutes. My claim was approved and went towards my chosen deductible which is what I expected would happen. It did take almost 2 months to process my claim as they were very busy but I was kept up to date during the wait. So far I am very happy with this insurance and have recommended it to others.
