Customer Service staff who really care!

My 10 yr old has been with Pets Best for over 9 years. Over the years Pets Best has been there for us to support the various health issues that have arisen. When Quinn had to have surgery to have his spleen (and malignant mass) removed,I did not hesitate for 1 second to o.k. the estimated $3,ooo surgery, knowing that Pets Best would, once again, be there for us. Their customer service staff is fantastic.

Quick and concise

I recently put in 2 claims for my golden retriever pups office visits ( one to diagnose the problem, and one to follow up a week later. I submitted the claims when I got home on the computer. It was easy to do as I could scan the bill from the vet and my payment stub. The form was easy and quick. The turn around time was quick as well.

Reliable

I have had insurance plans in the past and submitted claims but there was always a reason they didn't want to cover it. This is my first claim through Pets est and it was quick and simple. Thank you
