Easy to file a claim, but long time for reimbursement

Filing a claim is super easy, but the turn around time for reimbursement has been longer than what was initially understood. 2-3 weeks for a reimbursement isn't bad, but recently have had a few go as long 5-6 weeks. I'm overall happy with petsbest and what kinds of coverage they offer.

Excellent company!!!

Pets Best has provided coverage for my young dog who had unexpected health issues. It is an easy process to submit claims and customer service is always very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this company to people who want coverage for their pets.

happy with service!

I am very happy with the coverage we receive for our dog. she got her ccl repaired and they covered 90% of the cost. its important when making these big decisions it doesn’t come to make the choice between care and cost.

I had a pretty good experience with Pets Best. The reason for the 4stars is that the claim basic wellness took forever. Also they don't cover dental cleaning with their wellness add ons. Otherwise very friendly staff & vets.
