Good customer service

Good customer service, many price options to get coverage for my furry friends. Used to be with another insurance carrier. Haven’t once regretted changing to Pets Best.

Feels like a runaround

I submitted a claim about 4 months ago and got emails asking for the same thing multiple times that I had already submitted. It was denied and I submitted it again several days ago and have had no response yet.

Fast, No-Hassle Claim Processing and Payment

My one-year-old cat fell and broke his ankle a few weeks ago, requiring a fusion surgery. It was (and still is) an incredibly stressful time for us, having to provide round-the-clock care and see him hurting. Pets Best promptly (within a WEEK of his surgery) processed and paid the claim—no issues. What an immense relief. This is my second pet who has been covered by Pets Best. I would recommend them to anyone.

Pets Best has served us well

Pets Best has served us well. Our pup has bad allergies so we visit the vet a lot. I feel their reimbursements are very reasonable. The workflow is simple to upload invoices and turn around time is pretty good too.
