Claim experience

If you are looking for a pet insurance that offers great communication and the ease of filing a claim then Pets Best is a great choice. They made the process so easy and communicated with me regarding any delays in the claim process. They will reach out to your vet to get additional information if needed to process your claim as well. It is upsetting enough when your pet is ill and knowing that you will not have to fight with an insurance company to get your claim processed provides a bit of comfort in an otherwise stressful situation, I highly recommend Pets Best!!

Losing Blue

It was unfortunate that I had to contact Pets Best. I lost my cat two weeks prior contacting them to let them know that I needed to take him off the policy. The young lady that was helping me was very polite very sympathetic, and even though I could’ve left him on the policy and continue paying for his insurance, just so it was another piece of Him that I didn’t have to let go. I chose this to start my closure on losing him.
