Fast, efficient service that is very easy to understand

The online claims process is very easy to follow and quick to fill in. Pets Best send emails to keep you updated on the progress of your claim (which doesn't usually take more than a few days for them to complete). When I have had bills from multiple vets for the same illness I have only ever had to submit one claim with all the bills attached, Pets Best do all the work splitting into multiple claims - which is great because it can get confusing and I am worried I will miss something if I try to split out the paperwork myself!

Wonderful, prompt, thoughtful service.

Everything about your service was amazing - from your phone representative to your prompt, detailed paying of our claim. I'm telling all my friends about you. Wish you were my health insurance company!

So easy I didn't believe it

Pets Best has been one of the easiest insurances I have ever used. I work for a human health insurance company, so I figured when my dog had a cancerous tumor, I was going to have to spend hours gathering medical records and appealing decisions to get any payout. Color me surprised when I submitted my claim just by describing in three sentences why she had services, and a week later having the money in my account! I cannot say enough good things about how easy and quick everything was.
