Purrrrrrfect Pet Insurance

So very issue to submit claims. I've not experienced one disappointment in what is covered. If only human insurance was as fair and easy to deal with!!

Very dependable!

We received reimbursements exactly as we were expecting! Not only that, but we received a credit back to our account for the couple of premium payments that were drafted after our Zoe passed away from a malignant brain tumor -- without us asking! We also received a separate email extending condolences on the loss of our sweet Boston Terrier Zoe! Above and beyond is how I would describe your services! Thank you!

HIGHEST PRAISES FOR PETS BEST

I can't say enough good things about Pets Best Ins. Last year my 12 year old Miniature Schnauzer, Shelby was diagnosed with Diabetes, then as a result of the Diabetes got cataracts. Thanks to my Pets Best Insurance I was able to give her cataract surgery & save her sight. But as if these 2 medical issues weren't bad enough during the year as we were working with the vet to get her insuline regulated, she has had 2 bouts of Pancreatitis, a Urinary Tract Infection & eye infections. Needless to say, she has had a rough 1 1/2 years, but knowing that I had Pets Best behind me to help with the expenses, I was able to get the care and hospitalization she needed. Pets Best is ALWAYS prompt in their claims processing. I've had pet insurance with another company and it was such a hassle; they would only "pay a portion of this and a portion of that", or were constantly returning the claims for further information or wanting the actual doctor's comments and signature on the claim. They were a real hassle!!! Seems they were always trying to cut the claim amount, deny it or hassle me so much that I just gave up. I just didn't have time to do all they wanted. I've NEVER had this problem with Pets Best!! With all the stress of the past 1 1/2 years, it was nice to have an easy & prompt claim experience with Pets Best. I can't thank Pets Best enough and don't know what I would have done without you.
