Pets Best is the perfect name!

Have had Pets Best Insurance for a number of years. Never thought my dog Sophie would need it, but she is almost 8 and has had a few illnesses lately. Pets Best is there for us. Claims were filed and reviewed in a timely manner andmy checks came quickly. Thank you Pets Best. I definitely made the right choice when I purchased this insurance!

Final claims submitted for my cat, Cheyenne

It was very easy to prepare and submit the claim for my cat. I thought the Claim details, including the Explanation of Benefits were easy to understand. Cheyenne was a Tortoise Shell cat. The pick list below under Breed doesn't include Tortoise Shell so I selected Calico, which is not the same as a Calico.

The Best

I have had to use this insurance several times, and have been pleased with how easy and quick it is to submit a claim. Each time it was a quick turn around with an easy to understand explanation of what was covered and what was not.

Pets Best went above and beyond

We've had Pets Best Insurance for several years, but didn't need to use it until recently. They are so easy to work with. They even accepted photos of bills -- with sticky notes stuck to them! Uploading everything was easy, communication was fast! They worked directly with my vet if there was a question. We had multiple problems going on with our cat, and this was such a tremendous help. Also, their online chat was extremely helpful.
