Me and my dogs appreciate Pets Best

I have had Pets Best for both my dogs since we got them and had a few claims. The premiums are reasonable and I have found them to be fair in covering items for illness and injury. It sometimes takes a while but they communicate to let me know.

Pets best has been amazing

Pets best has been amazing! Highly recommend. I have for both my cats at very reasonable rate and my one cat had some health stuff come up and the reimbursement on the cost has been a huge help financially. The claim process is very easy and quick too!

Happy to have my pet insured

I have had an Unfortunate passing of our flat coated retriever from Lymphoma, Luckily I had PetsBest to pickup the bills once he was diagnosed at 3.5yrs. they also covered his cremation expenses. We got another puppy a few months later because the void was too big for the kiddos. immediately, I have purchased Insurance for him. only to discover a few months later that he has elbow dysplasia... OH BOY! I'm so lucky I have decided to yet again to buy Insurance! The one think i wish BestPets were able to do is to pay directly to the Veterinarian.

Long claim turnaround time

I originally submitted my claim on August 14th and it took nearly a month for a resolution. This was for a $1,300.00 bill. If I didn't have the money to pay this bill upfront, I would be in a lot of trouble. I do not like the turnaround times for claims. It also took a long time for me to get a resolution on a basic neuter for my puppy. Not happy.
