The Pets Best claims process was easy and quick.

The Pets Best claims process was very easy and quick! I was appreciative of the email I received notifying me of a slight delay in the process. I was surprised to receive a policy update letter just days later increasing my rates significantly. That was quite disappointing as we've been loyal customers and this was our first time placing a claim.

Filing was the smoothest and quickest.

In all my years on the earth, this insurance filing was perhaps the smoothest and quickest I have ever experienced.

You made a big difference in my dog's life.

We didn't know what was wrong with my Maltese-Poodle mix, a rescue. She kept having diarrhea. We changed her diet and that helped a bit, but not enough. The vet wanted her to have an ultrasound, which costs $859 in CA. I am retired and on a fixed income and couldn't have gone ahead with Josie's ultrasound if it hadn't been for Pets Best. You paid my claim within two weeks of my filing it, and since I had met my annual deductible, I got most of the money I spent back. You made a big difference in my dog's life, and mine, too. Plus, the ultrasound showed what was wrong and we are now addressing it. Josie will be just fine!

Claims process is satisfactory.

I had submitted a claim for a visit to the vet as my dog was not behaving well, vomiting a few times at home. Brought to the vet for check up and treated with some antibiotics. He is well now. Waiting time for the claim to process is less than a week which is very satisfactory.
