Constantly Having to Appeal Claims Denials to Get Payment

They habitually deny claims, stating everything is a pre-existing condition. I then have to fill out more paperwork for the appeals process to finally get payment. My other insurer never does this and they are so easy!

One less worry

Our sweet boy has had ongoing issues that would worry every pet parent. We are very grateful to have Pets Best to help him recover. It's one less worry when it comes to his care. Thank goodness we have Pets Best!

I tell everyone

Pet's best has been with me through the loss of three of my pets. They even paid for the cremation and box. They sent me wonderful Sympathy cards for each pet I lost. They have been great with my one remaining cat Sylvester that had to have his leg amputated. I could not have been able to afford that surgery without Pet's Best. I tell everyone about them.
