Excellent Service!

I have never had a problem getting paid with this company. The claim process is easy and I usually have my check within a week of filing the claim. Best investment I've made in a long time!

So / So

While the coverage is ok, I am not at all amused with the answer to my recent question about the health check list. I never received a form to have my vet fill out and return within the 30 days of activation. They say it went to my gmail but all I have are emails asking me to like their page, upload cute pictures etc. (Junk mail) Pets Best is blaming Gmail for non-delivery but they can't forward me proof of their supposed original email w/ the form being requested. I'm a timely person and would have followed through.. Still deciding if this is worth keeping (their insurance) I am not one for games.

Pets Best is the best for pet insurance

Our dog was diagnosed with a reaction to the rabies shot that caused HGE in our Pom. She spent 5 nights at the vet clinic receiving treatment. I filed my claim on line, and within a week Pets Best processed and paid the claim exactly the way my policy reads. I have had Pets Best for almost 5 years now and recently added a second fur baby to the policy. Again they have reimbursed according to her policy. They are always consistent and their customer service is excellent. I really like being able to file on line and the direct deposit and auto policy payments make the process so easy. We are happy to be a client of Pets Best.

Happy I Signed Up!

My dog got ahold of a larger dog's dog treat and ate the whole thing. She was in the hospital for 24 hours and the bill was over $800. I am so happy I signed up for Pets Best. With my $100 deductible and 90% coverage I paid less than $200 for her treatment. What a blessing. In the past, I had VPI insurance for another dog and their benefits schedule was terrible. I like Pets Best because they pay based on what your vet bill is. I submitted my claim and about a week later they paid my claim and sent the money to my bank account. Their rates are also reasonable. I highly recommend them!!
