Claim Paid within 2-weeks minus deductible and co-pay

Harper, our 11-month old Belgian Fur-Missile sustained a cut on her lip and we had to rush her to the vet for stitches under sedation and post op care; needless to say the bill came in high; submission of the vet receipt was easy, and the claim, minus the deductible and co-pay, was processed within 2 weeks and reimbursed directly to my checking acct. Thank you Pets Best

Very pleased and now I don't have to make a life or death decision on money

"I was concerned that a previous unrelated hospitalization would be used as an excuse not to pay the claim. I spoke with an agent before I bought the policy if this would be an issue and was told no but there are no guarantees. I was very pleased that this was in fact the case. It is a great ease of mind that I don't have to decide whether my beloved Daisy lives or dies based upon money.
