Pets Worst

Finally after 6 weeks, having to fax medical records in several times because they claimed they never received them, they paid outstanding claims from the beginning of September... I'm not sure if having them investigated by the Department of Insurance helped expedite the reimbursement;however I am happy they have been paid.... Anyone considering them should run... run.. run... far away... In the last year and a half (since I signed up) they have gone from #1 to #6.. That speaks volumes for me... there are many other good pet carriers out there... do not choose Pets Best.. If there was a 0 I'd give it to them...

Excellent service.

I've never been with another pet insurance carrier, but I don't need to try because this company has been really great. Claims are settled and payment received within one week. The process couldn't be simpler. They were recommended to me by someone with multiple pets of all ages who has been with them for years after trying several other companies; she said they are the best, and I believe her. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Pets Best.
