So happy to have Pets Best

When our Great Dane bloated we rushed him to Emergency and after the doctor finished briefing us on his condition she said we needed to discuss finances before they could proceed with the surgery. I was so grateful to say we had Pets Best Insurance and know we were covered. He had the surgery and came home less than 48 hours later!!

Amazing customer service reps and they pay claims!

Cass was very kind and she gave me excellent instructions after I called to inquire about the claims process. My dog, Girlfriend, escaped the back yard and ran right into a car which left the scene. No broken bones. She is bruised but resting at home. Pets Best paid my claims following the accident, just as expected!

Great Customer Service

I called in because I needed help getting started on submitting a claim. Thanks to Pets Best great customer service, one phone call was all it took to have all my questions answered and my confidence in the process secured.

Extremely fas claims processing!

For the past 4 years I have always submitted my claims via mail, then waited up to 10 days for my check. This last time I decided to file my claim electronically, and I was quite surprised at how "user friendly" their process is. I also signed up for electronic transfer directly into my bank account. Now instead of receiving my refund in a week to 10 days, I received it within 48-72 hours.

Best Pet Insurance

Several years ago, I used another insurance company. They were paying less and less. Pets Best Insurance has been brilliant! Very clear. Easy to understand. I filed the most recent claim for my dog's surgery and within 3 days it was done! With direct deposit, I got the funds quickly.
