Helped ease the stress
This was our second (and last!) time around with our dog Wally swallowing a rock! The surgery was very expensive but it was a HUGE relief to know we had insurance. It's stressful enough worrying about our little guy in surgery...and the 2-3 week rehab process afterward, but having the claim covered helped ease the stress. Thank you Pets Best!

Excellent
I have had petsbest insurance on all my animals for almost 10 years. They are more than fair on payouts, excellent customer service and turn around time. They have covered everything but pre existing conditions which all the companies have that policy. Their rates are affordable and it is a great feeling to know they have your back on any vet issues. I recommend them all the time and have tried others for different pets and all of them (6 cats) are now insured with petsbest.
