Able to get the care we needed

I've been with pets best for a year with 3 cats. My cats are wonderfully healthy and I never thought I would ever have to use the insurance.. until my young 5 year old tabby started having health issues. I finally was able to use the insurance and saw how it worked and covered his emergencies. Then one emergency required an expensive surgery. I was confident and trusted pets best and was able to provide life saving surgery for my sweet kitty. I would not have been able to afford his surgery otherwise. I am so very thankful for choosing this insurance.

Claim was easy

This is my 1st claim with Pets Best for a new puppy visit. The claim was very easy to make and they responded expeditedly, and a payment made directly to my checking account just as quickly. I have another exam coming up that will include a blood test, microchip installation, required vaccinations, and a Vet visit for my new pup. I'm hoping that the next claim will be just as easy as the first one,

My vet suggested you but won"t again!

I think doubling your rates is ridiculous and I'm dropping your insurance. I think a lot of other people will too. My dog's medical care will be less for the year without any insurance than with yours. I know we were at the high end of medical expenses so I'm not at all sure this change will really apply to all of the animals you insure. Also my dog is an English Lab and you don't even have her breed lister. She is very different than an American Lab!! Judi Snyder
