Can't recommend enough

Thank you so much for helping our puppy recovery from an emergency surgery on his knee. Without this surgery, his leg would not grow to proper length and he would not be able to use it. Filling a claim was so easy and we received reimbursement quickly. We can't recommend Pets Best enough!!!

You're great

Credit is due to my vet's office for filing my claims--they're great. I look for your email of receipt. Unless you need additional info, I receive a response in mere days--you're great!

Never have any issues

Never have any issues with any claim submissions because Pets Best always explains in detail on an EOB reason for claim $ amount & member $ responsibility. Too bad people medical insurance was this easy.

Once again 5 star service

When my Farmers Insurance Agent heard I got a puppy, he recommended Pets Best Insurance. I had recently spent thousands of dollars trying to save my last dog, so it sounded like a goid idea. The initial puppy check claim went super smoothly. I recently had her spayed, my approved amount was in my checking account in less than 24 hours! Unbelievable, best thing ever!
