Pets Best ALWAYS does the right thing!

My beloved Australian Shepherd mix, Taz, passed on at age 15. I was distraught and devastated for months. I forgot to file the claims for all the medical visits and procedures from the last year of her life and missed the 6 month filing window on a few of the claims. I called and explained the situation, and the representative was very sympathetic and was able to waive the time limit so I could submit the claims. I also got a sympathy card in the mail from Pet's Best.

The best Customer Service Reps in the industry

Sharon V. is an extraordinary customer service representative. She was helpful, professional and incredibly personable.Unfortunately my policy expired but I do hope to be a Pets Best customer in the near future primarily due to her. How refreshing to have a wonderful human being on the end of a customer service line. I was truly impressed by Pets Best and would not recommend any other Pet Insurance to my friends.

Pets Best is the Best for all my dogs

I wouldn't own a pet without having insurance. It gives me the piece of mind knowing that I can do what ever I need to do to keep everyone happy and healthy. I have the claim payment sent directly to my vet and they love that also.Thanks once again Pets Best for being there when Tag and I needed you.
