So fast and easy to send claims

Pets Best makes it so nice and easy to send in a claim. Sent claim in on a Thursday afternoon and got notified Sunday that it had processed! Only 3 days, very fast! So simple to do, thanks Pets Best!

Very satisfied customer

This company really exceeded my expectations. The app needs some adjustments but apart from that, I have no complaints. Some claims took longer to be processed but it was processed in accordance to our hired plan.

Pet's Best is an exceptional company which I recommend highly.

"I've had Pet's Best insurance since 2017. They are a stellar company. Last year my dog was diagnosed as diabetic, and earlier this year he lost his sight completely due to cataracts from the diabetes. Three weeks ago he had cataract surgery and he can now see again. Pet's Best has paid the claims promptly and completely, and thanks to them I was able to get the surgery my dog needed. I really can't recommend them highly enough. I have had surgeries for my dogs in the past and Pet's Best has always paid the claims promptly. Also, having free access to Whiskerdocs has proven to be invaluable. If it wasn't for them, I would not have known to take my dog to an Internal Medicine Specialist to regulate his diabetes - which the primary vet was unable to do. Whiskerdocs has been an excellent resource."
