Pets Best is a great insurance policy…

Pets Best is a great insurance policy to have and I'm so thankful I purchased this for my female dachshund three years ago, she just recently was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, she is not doing well and I am truly heartbroken but I have peace of mind knowing that some of her medical bills will be paid with her policy.

I recently had to submit some…

I recently had to submit some significant claims because our dog had ingested a foreign object. It was comforting to know we had Pets Best Pet Health Insurance. We had Pets Best Insurance for another dog a few years back. Our claims were processed quickly and deposited directly into our checking account. Thank you Pets Best for your exceptional service and offering us peace of mind! Rob & LuAnn
