Grateful

I had been ready to cancel this policy as I had no reason to qualify for payments. A representative worked with me to make it more $$ feasible. Thank goodness because I was very grateful to get some reimbursements for a significant vet bill.

15 years of experience

15 years of experience with two dogs under the protection of Pets Best. My oldest Dog, Smitty, recently passed, but he lived a good life because I never hesitated to see a Vet or spend my limited resources to give him the best of care. I felt that I had a very sincere and personal relationship when It was necessary to seek help from the customer care staff, We had a major scare for Smitty right after our move to Idaho and the Spokane Valley. Smitty appeared to have ingested poison resulting in an autoimmune disease of his nail beds. It required many different medications and trips to the Vet. Fortunately, Pets Best stayed the course for the suffering Smitty endured to the end of his life. My orher friend Ian is also insured by Pets Best Health. Since both my dogs were rescue dogs, they came with unexpected problems and health issues but I will always be grateful for the wonderful converage and service we receive from Pets Best Heath Insurance.

Happy with PetsBest for over a decade

So, we've been with PetsBest for 10+ years, with policies for our three cats, all of them rescues from shelters, including Smoky, who made it to 18 years old before he passed earlier this year. Smoky had multiple health challenges and medications, and the staff at PetsBest were the absolute best at helping us decide the best care that we could afford on our budget (we're retired). PetsBest has always been an awesome partner, just as important as our vet.

Awesome Service

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with the speed of processing my claims and depositing the reimbursement in my checking account. AWESOME SERVICE! I was somewhat reluctant in purchasing insurance but am so glad that I did. Who knew that sixteen months later that Roxie would need surgery? So, so glad that I bought Pets Best, but hoping for no more major injuries! Thanks so much for the great service!
