Consistently Great Service

Unfortunately, we have a Maltese that has had chronic issues in her young age. Pets Best has been phenomenal in their support and consultations since we joined their client network.

Excellent

Coverage on my dogs surgery has been excellent. Makes owning pets easier knowing that we can afford larger medical bills.

Whoops slower in repay of claims.....

The repay for claims seem to take longer then they did before. YET they let you know if it will take longer to complete everything so that is good to know. Overall I like Pets Best Insurance and have for years! :-)

My cat has better health insurance than…

My cat has better health insurance than I do and I work for the State! I am so thankful for this pet insurance. I had to take my cat to the emergency vet after hours clinic and it was not cheap! I filled out the paperwork and filed my claim and payment was deposited in my checking account in under 2 weeks! Filing the claim was super easy and I am so pleased with the plan I chose. I also liked that there are several plans to choose from with very low monthly premiums. It is totally worth it!
