Never feel like I'm a number

The customer service is always great, I really appreciate how kind and caring the reps are. I never feel like I'm just a number. Thank you for helping care for my babies!

Laceration treatment

My 2 yr old very active Border Collie managed to give herself an about 3 inch long laceration on her right side rib cage. It ended up requiring 7 stitches, done during an Emergency Vet visit.

VERY glad that we enrolled

We are VERY glad that we enrolled in the Pets Best insurance plan. Unfortunately our dog has health issues and Pets Best has stood behind us for years. We only wish we had done it sooner. My advice to anyone considering pet insurance is to definitely get it, make sure you do it ASAP and I recommend Pets Best.

The usual claim experience. I was kept informed along the way via email (my choice) and received an update when it was complete. I have never had a bad experience with Pets Best.
