I am super irritated with the quality…

I am super irritated with the quality and service of this company, I am paying MORE money to have all the right benefits covered to care for my animals yet, they aren't being covered as such, and the processing time is ridiculously slow. Due to how dissatisfied I am with all of this, I will be switching providers. I am not paying you over $1200 a year to have all my pets wellness visits NOT covered. Ridiculous

Quick response times.

There was a delay of several months with our VET getting the claims filed. Once Pets Best received them they were processed immediately. I received the approved amounts within 1 1/2 weeks. Thank you

Good first claim.

This is my first claim after transferring from another insurer in 2017 and I'm very happy with the outcome. Veterinary expenses tend to be higher here in California than in many other states so the flat-fee system I was under before did not provide nearly enough coverage. I like being able to customize my deductible and coverage level with Pets Best and the straightforward percent reimbursement.
