I have had my dogs covered with Pets Best for over 5 years now and it has more than paid for itself every year. I compete in dog sports and the peace of mind knowing I don't ever have to make a decision based on money is well worth it. My claims have all been paid timely with no issues. Thank you!

The claims process has gotten much quicker in the last year. What used to take a few weeks is now done in a few days. The coverage is very simple to understand, so I have never had to dispute a claim. I always have an idea of what my claim will pay and it’s always been accurate.
