excellent company

We have two beagles; our male dog linus required surgery for torn ligaments-there was no question regarding coverage for the type of procedure we opted to have; we could not have been more pleased. our female dog, lucy is our golden girl-she has multiple problems and we have had to submit numerous claims; they are always handled promptly and fairly. also, i find the company easy to contact, and with very friendly and knowledgeable phone staff. we have had this insurance for a few years and could not be happier. thank you so much pets best-the peace of mind makes it so worth while.

AMAZINGLY FAST claims process

Policy only in effect for 2 weeks, I uploaded a wellness claim for a spay and vaccinations to their website on Sunday evening, by the end of business Monday (less than 24 hours later), they had direct deposited payment to my bank account. You really can't ask for faster than that.

Did much research before getting pets best

I have 7 animals. My greatest fear was that something might happen and I would have to put one down because I could not afford the vet bill. I was able to afford the $500 deductible for all the animals. I am thrilled with the no hassle claims, the speed with which they are processed, and the real concern for the animal when I have spoken with customer service. One of my spaniels has glaucoma. There is never a problem with the opthamlogists visits and the meds she requires. 2 friends to whom I recommended pets best are equally happy after switching to pets best from another company.

QUICK & RESPONSIVE!

Even though all of my claims did not get paid, the response time was incredible. I faxed my claims in about 6pm one evening, and by 11am the next day, I had email alerts telling me the claims were being processed---by 2pm--my claims were processed--and within days, money was in my account. Again, not all of my claims were paid--but the quick response is truly a thing of beauty! Thank you, Pets Best!!!

PETBEST IS THE BEST PET INS !

INITIALLY, I WAS DOUBTFUL BUYING THIS INS FOR MY 2 DOGS,GEORGIE & SHEA. LAST TIME I SIGNED UP FOR PET INS WITH ANOTHER INS.COMPANY I WAS VERY UNHAPPY WITH. I'M VERY HAPPY TO SAY THAT PETBEST IS A QUALITY PET INS. COMPANY IN MANY WAYS.I'M ALWAYS SURE I'LL GET PAID CORRECTLY. NEVER A DOUBT. IF I QUESTION THEM AS TO A FEE OR A DEDUCTION I'M ALWAYS THE ONE THAT'S INCORRECT. I RECENTLY LOST (6/13/12) MY 13 YEAR OLD COCKER GIRL SHEA PESTBEST,IMMEDIATELY SENT US THE KINDESS MOST THOUGHTFUL CONDOLENCES. I HAVE HAD ONLY VERY GOOD EXPERIENCES WITH PETBEST FROM THE BEGINNING.
