Great service, Kind people

I've had nothing but good experiences with Pets Best! They process claims quickly and efficiently. When my puppy had a medical emergency, it was important and so comforting to have the 24/7 pet helpline to help decide what to do and where to go. I can't recommend Pets Best enough!

Took a long time to process my claims…

It took you 29 days to process my claim. I had to call twice. A week apart both times. Every time they told me "we don't know what's taking so long". I even asked if there was anything I could do to help. They said call back at 30 days and we can dispute the claims to see what is taking so long and magically the day before the 30 days the claims were finished. I understand you're a busy company, but I pay a lot monthly for this service and I would just respect timely service in return.

Pets Best - Wouldn't consider another company

We have 2 boxer boys. We had our pet insurance with a different company that we were very unhappy with prior to Pets Best. We are so pleased with Pets Best. Claims filing online, even by mobile phone, is quick and simple. Every claim we've submitted has been paid out as expected based on our policy coverage, and is direct deposited into our bank account. When we've needed to contact them with a question, customer service has been courteous and responsive. Thank you Pets Best for helping us care for our favorite boxer family members.
