The claims process is very easy. I scan and upload my invoice and documentation, Pets Best does the rest. Several days later I receive an email saying my claim is being processed followed by a second email that says my claim is completed. Reimbursement follows. It doesnt get much easier than that. "

Excellent company!!

I bought this insurance thinking it would only cover catastrophic injuries/illness. I was pleasantly surprised when the customer service people corrected my misconception when I called to file. They were very kind and helpful...allowing me to receive much more money for my claim(s)than I expected! I highly recommend this company...and will use them again, if I get another pet.
