Fast and hassle-free

I have had Pets Best for four dogs, and Pets Best has always made the pain of a sick dog a little less horrible. I chose Pets Best years ago with my first dog because they were one of the few who would insure older dogs. I have nothing but good things to say about Pets Best. They have been wonderful and caring, even sending condolences upon the death of my first two fur-babies.

Best Company by far!

This is hands down the best company to have for pet insurance! They make everything so easy and simple! It really takes the worry away from unfortunate situations that arise with pets. Always quick and I feel as though they truly care and strive to take care of their customers!

Increase in cost as the dogs age

I am disappointed to see the large increase in cost as the dogs age. It has been huge without much coverage. It has been every year and Maile is now six and has been healthy. Not much coverage paid. While I feel you are a very professional business, I will definitely shop around with my next dog. This is way too much for what you get.

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

Payout Limits
