Good explanations

11 years ago from the time that we acquired my doggie, from the application process up to the times that we're in and out of the doctors visits- pets best was there. Always ready to give me a good explanation of everything. Thanks Pets Best!!!!!

The claims process is so easy.

Pets Best makes everything easy. The claims process takes no time at all and turn around time is quick on reimbursing. They contact the vets themselves. They don't make us do all work. My dog had TPLO surgery 3 months ago and were reimbursed per our policy rather quickly. They have a friendly support staff too.

Very happy

I signed up with Pets Best 5 years ago and was very happy with you. However I was offered a Pet Insurance at a lower price from an employer and I made the mistake of making the change. I decided to return to Pets Best as I was not happy with the new company. When I returned my cost went up due to his age and pre existing conditions as now he was a new client. I was disappointed in that, but I still prefer Pets Best as the insurance company for Bailey, even though my monthly payment has increased now.

Great service

Our choc lab had surgery 3-4 months ago and it was expensive, I did not have to worry about PetsBest at all. They did what they were supposed to and contacted the vet on our behalf. All the worry was to get our baby recovered to get him healthy. We had pain meds to follow his surgery and it was a completely painless process to get reimbursed for those as well.
