The best decision I could have made for my dog

My rescue bulldog mix, Winston, has had a myriad of health problems, including needing surgery for elbow dysplasia and now 2 torn ACLs. Luckily, I got pets best insurance for him when he was a puppy, so I can make sure he gets all his needed vet care without worrying about the cost. I tell literally everyone I know, get pet through pets best asap!! I have saved thousands of dollars over the 4 years Winston has been insured, and it's such a relief knowing I can get all the medical care he needs, specifically his surgeries.

What's the purpose of paying for…

What's the purpose of paying for insurance if it isn't going to cover anything? Terrible insurance. So many "rules and regulations"; robbery.

Pets Best is the actual best

I have had pets best insurance for years for all three of my Boston terriers. The claims process is easy to understand, my claims are processed efficiently, and the cost of the premium is very reasonable. I have had surgeries, behavioural health, and illnesses all covered. Everything from BOAS surgery to a corneal ulcer to a benign histiocytoma to behavioral health. I am consistently impressed with the high-quality of service provided by this company. I could not recommend it more highly.

Peace of Mind

"Pets Best has allowed me to get the best care for my dogs without having to worry about whether I can afford it. One of my dogs tore his ACL and all associated care was covered (minus the deductible and copay.) 10 months later, he tore the other one, and again, all covered. My other dog had a mystery ailment and x-rays, bloodwork and meds were covered. I was able to just concentrate on getting my dog the treatment she needed and that has brought me such peace of mind. I have been very happy with the service from Pets Best! "
