I love the human aspect

All my claims for both my dog have been made with the utmost respect and dignity. For example when my beloved Sawyer passed away I called to alert pets best the person receiving my call told me exactly what to do and that I need not worry about a thing. She also expressed her condolences which were heartfelt. I love the human aspect of each time I have called especially when I have been panicked. When my Tucker ate rat poison, the person I spoke with about the claim walked me through my policy and how to file my claim. Tucker made a full recovery and I just can't say enough wonderful things about pets best!

Very easy

Thank you Pet's Best! My big guy, Larry, doesn't get sick very often and on this occasion, he had a cough and needed some quick vet attention. You made the claim very easy and Larry's now all healthy again! Best, Tracy W.

I always recommend Pets Best

Our dog Bella is very active. She goes to the dog park, day care, and we take her for long walks and hikes regularly. Bella had her nail broken off while playing and we didn't have to hesitate about bringing her in. I always recommend pets best. It's taken a lot of worry out of taking our dog in if she gets hurt or sick. The peace of mind alone is worth it. Our vet was able to treat her and her nail is growing back. We got reimbursed for the pricy vet visit and the follow up within about a week and a half of submitting the claim. Better yet, our pup is doing great and is healing nicely.
