Paid as per agreement

The insurance paid as expected. The deductible has now been met for this dog so if she has any more issues this year she should be covered per the agreement. Claim was easy by uploading the .pdf to the claim. Monthly rate is reasonable.

Pets Best the best insurance

I have tried 3 different pet insurance companies and I must say I will stay with this one. They make filing claims very simple and get your money back to you fast.

Well worth it, been with PBI for 8 yrs.

PBI has helped my 4 legged kids numerous times. They gave me piece of mind during difficult times. They gave me more years to spend with my kids. If your reading this, it’s well worth it. Do it now because when the time comes when you need it it’ll be to late.

Pets Best is awesome!

I had to submit a claim for my dog that suffered a torn cruciate ligament. Filing the claim with Pets Best couldn't have been easier and they processed my claim so promptly. When I called with questions the customer service reps were knowledgeable and very nice. I would recommend Pets Best Insurance to anyone who loves their pets!
