Very pleased with Pet's Best Insurance

I've been a Pet's Best Customer for over 3 years and I am very pleased with the service I receive. I have two dogs, one of whom has severe allergies. Pet's Best has never denied a claim.

Thank you Pets Best for backing your promise

I purchased Pets Best insurance for both my rescue kittens to save me major expense in the event of a serious illness or accident. I hoped I would never have to use it. Unfortunately, one of my cats required surgery after swallowing a foreign object. Thank goodness, the surgery was successful and my claim was easily filed and paid in full within two weeks. Thank you Pets Best for fully backing your promise. Without hesitation I strongly recommend the insurance to all pet lovers.
