Worried, but then Relieved

We have never had Pet Insurance before. We decided to get on our Young 2 yr. Old boy Sphynx, after our oldest(12 yr.) boy Sphynx passed away(old age).. We had our first Claim a few weeks ago, small claim (under $200).. First time filing, They requested records from Vet. which they informed me of, I was a bit irritated, as I did every precheck they requested as to no wait period, etc. but I did understand, they want to review records, after all, they are the insurance company, as any insurance comp. would. It took a few weeks, but the claim was paid as outlined.. Pets Best did inform me every step of the way, from when they received claim, to requesting records, to a detailed explanation of claim being paid. What more could you ask for from a company. I didn't know what to expect from a Pet Insurance company.. But I can say Pets Best relived me of my worries, and I feel better that I chose Pets Best ( I spent a couple weeks reviewing companies)as my boys insurance carrier. If you have never had Pet Insurance (like me), and are considering, then give Pets Best a honest look at.. To this point, they have been outstanding. And I also recommend spending the extra money at your Vet to have your Pet fully checked and screened so that you don't have a wait period, its helps on the Insurance, but most important, its piece of mind for you and your Pet... I want to thank Pets Best for a great first impression.....

Pets Best is The Best

My boy Gibson has several ongoing illnesses which require him to have vet checkups and two different meds on a permanent basis. Pets Best has paid more than our premiums have cost for several years. I don't know what we would do without them.

I Have Had Riley With Pets Bes…

I have had Riley with Pets Best since she was a little puppy and have been very satisfied throughout with exception of this last claim. I am disappointed of the amount of reimbursement. Maybe if claim was filed a little different or different code it wouldve been better. I wish someone would"ve let me or the vet know. I plan to have Riley for several more years and I want to continue to have the best care for her."
