Great insurance. Fantastic customer service

My claim was initially mis-categorized. When I called regarding the delay, the rep. was super friendly and very helpful. She said she was going to pass it on to the supervisor and by the next morning, my claim was processed and I received the check less than a week later. I have filed claims before and since and have always been notified by email regarding the status and paid in a reasonable time frame. I just put my 2nd dog on the insurance as well!! I am more than pleased with this company and the service they provide.

Great pet insurance

I have 3 dogs insured with Pets Best. I was hoping to not need to use the insurance but one of my dogs has started having problems. I have been very pleased with this insurance so far. They have paid 90% after I met my deductible. It has made it easier to deal with my sweet dog's problems.

Spot the Wonder Dog

Over the last year, our lab mix Spot has developed lymphoma and also a cranial cruciate injury. Throughout this whole process Pets Best has efficiently handled all of our claims. We have been able to provide the best care for him - care that we could not have afforded without our Pets Best policy.

Pets Best has been there to help

Our dog has had glaucoma and eye surgeries to help make his life better. Pets Best has been there helping the whole way, reimbursing for expenses we would have paid out of pocket without their help.
