It’s nice having coverage that is…

It’s nice having coverage that is affordable for my pup. I just wish they covered more for the teeth cleaning expenses than what they do it’s so expensive and we got insurance to help with things like that.

Great Experience!

This is my first time having pet insurance on my 3 fur kids! Pets Best is easy to submit claims and easy to have any questions answered. They even called my vet when I didn't have what was needed!

Slow Reimbursement With Claims

I do like this insurance company. My one big complaint is that it takes a very very long time for the company to reimburse you for a claim and it's getting longing. One of my claims I filled July 25th and then several shortly after and I'm just now getting reimburse, August 23rd. But I do appreciate that I don't have to jump through hoops to put and claim in and I've had no problems with the claims that I've put in.
