Pets Best came through without hesitation
We've been fortunate that our dogs have been extremely healthy lately. But we love the peace of mind that comes with knowing that if something difficult ever happens, we're covered. One of our previous pets had a very rough patch, and Pets Best came through without hesitation. Thank you!

So easy to file a claim
This was our first time filing a claim with Pets Best in the two years we have had insurance. Our pup had an accident and needed immediate eye surgery. It can be very difficult to need to spend such a large amount of money on the spot, and not be sure if you will get any of it back. But Pets Best really made this experience extremely easy. It was so easy to file a claim, and we were reimbursed quickly!

Claims process was so easy
Claims process was so easy! Received exactly what I expected and didn't need to follow up at all. Squish is healthy and we are happy.
