I have been paying premiums for over 6…

I have been paying premiums for over 6 months and processed 2 claims for medical expenses. It has taken over 7 weeks for them to process the claims and still no satisfaction. I asked for a refund which they refused. The worst Pet insurance company, and experience. I have had Nationwide Pet Insurance for another pet, they processed claims immediately within 10 days. Great experience with them. Don't use Pet's Best ever! I will never use them again.

If you can, but day 1 you receive your pet

Unfortunately, I did not get pet insurance on day 1, I found my mutt puppy (apx 3 months old), but I didn't think we would keep her. Before we decided to keep her, I found worms in her poop. Took her to the vet and she still qualified for the puppy package. Which I would have saved some money, if I had put her in pet insurance. At about 5 months old, we decided to keep her, after no luck looking for her owners. I got her insured and had saved me money on microchipping her and Nexgard Plus. I would recommend you get insurance day 1.

They reviewed my claim quickly.

They reviewed my claim quickly. I had a problem with submitting a photo of my invoice but once I sent in a clear image of it, it went well. I do wish they allowed more refund money for teeth cleaning but that is ok.
