Best thing I ever did

Getting insurance was the best thing I did.. Several of my friends did not buy medical insurance for their dogs and were hit with very large vet and hospital bills on several occasions. My dog had a very serious medical condition necessitating surgery and overnight stays at the vet. Pets Best paid almost half of the charges. Claims are paid several days after submission. Very pleased with the customer service by phone or with paying of claims.
