So happy I went with Pets Best for my puppy!

I was hesitant to buy pet insurance, since I have never had my own dog before and didn't know what could happen or if the monthly fee was really worth it. After many conversations with friends and family who told me insurance was a must, I did serious research to find not only the best price, but also one that had great customer service reviews. I knew I might have questions and I wanted a company that was able to answer those quickly and correctly. After purchasing Pets Best insurance, I submitted a claim for 3 booster shots, heartworm and flea/tick meds and my puppy's microchip. They immediately emailed me confirming they had received my claim and would be reviewing in the coming days. A few days later, they emailed again to let me know a check was on its way for the full amount of the shots and meds, and nearly 50% of the microchip cost (as detailed in my plan). There were no surprises - although, I suppose I was surprised to see such an easy process play out exactly as I would hope with an insurance company! Overall, I would definitely recommend Pets Best.
