"On November 19, I took my dog to the vet for lameness. He was x-rayed and given medication. Two days later on November 21 I got an email explaining everything and showing the amount that I would be reimbursed. On November 27, it was deposited into my account! I was totally shocked at the speed that this claim was resolved. Great job! Thank you!"

I recommend Pets Best

I have had Pets Best for my dog for about 6 years. As he gets older, the number of claims I have filed for him has gone up, but Pets Best has always been great. I compare pet insurance to human insurance and, honestly, I wish I could have pet insurance for myself. Claim filing is super easy, claims are processed relatively quickly (2-4 weeks typically, which is incredible for insurance). They have never rejected a claim either - if the condition/medication is covered, I get reimbursed. No fuss. The only thing I have ever been irritated by is the time for the reimbursed money to be deposited into my account - it has taken anywhere from 1-3 weeks. Not sure if that's Pets Best or my bank, but it could definitely be faster. Overall though, I really have no complaints. I will be sticking with Pets Best for future pets.
