How Long Does It Take For Pets Best To Process A Claim? Pets Best's current claim processing average is 7-14 days. The amount of time it takes for a claim to be processed is dependent upon the claim type.

If your pet insurance policy has a waiting or exclusion period, you won't be able to make a claim for veterinary treatment for a set number of days from the start date of the policy. This period is typically between 14 and 30 days for illness, and two to five days for claims for accidents or injuries.

Most often, it's because the illness is deemed a preexisting condition, which few pet policies will cover. Challenging such denials can be frustrating, especially if your pet's medical needs are urgent.
