Processing Time

The length of time it takes to process a claim is TOO LONG!!!! I do not understand why it is taking 30+ days to process a claim. I’ve been a customer for years. I pay my bill every month on time. I would like to see the claim process be cut in half to no more than 15 days. Hire more people! It sounds like you are short staffed & need more help. Customers should not have to wait this long to get a claim processed.

First claim experience

I made my first claim after my pup had her first visit and within a couple of days I had an answer. This company seems very organized and prompt.

Really good Pet Insurance

This is the second surgery in 6 months that my dog, Sadie had to have tumors taken off her body. Thank goodness for Pets Best Insurance. After I sent them the bills and all relevant paperwork for the surgery, etc; I first received an email from Pets Best letting me know it was still under review, two days later I got another email stating I was going to get a check for various items. Again, I couldn't be happier and today I took Sadie for her last visit from the surgery ( it healed with no problems) and I let the Vet what insurance I had and I was told he would recommend Pets Best to patients if asked.
