Much better experience than expected

"I work in the health insurance industry (People Health Insurance), so I know how many issues there are with getting claims paid. I expected the worst. I had just gone through a rather traumatic experience with my pet, and an emergency room visit, which was not cheap. I was glad to have Pets Best to help cover some of the cost. I provided my receipts, and there was no questioning, no follow-ups for additional information, no delays. It took a reasonable amount of time to get reimbursed, 2 weeks. So, it was a pleasant experience all around. Thank you Pets Best."

Maintaining my late husband's pride and joy...

I have had insurance for my lovely Old English Sheepdog since I purchased him from the breeder for my late husband. I need him as my emotional support and grief, but I struggled with his growing wellness requirements. It wasn't until I found PetsBest and their favourable program for Illness and Wellness. I am incredibly pleased with the claim process and their communication throughout the claim stages. I am so glad I changed companies, and I know that I can now take care of my boy and not struggle financially as a retired widow.
