Pleasantly surprised

I was pleasantly surprised after filing my first claim at how clear the claim process and explanation was. I appreciate the breakdown of what was/was not covered and the amount paid toward my deductible. Thank you!

Very easy to use

My puppy just went for her annual checkup. All of her vaccinations and yearly checks were included in the claim that I submitted. Pets Best once again was very easy to use and covered all of her yearly checkup expenses. Thank you Pets Best!

Got the treatment we needed

It was very scary when I took my cat to the vet, thinking I would just need to switch the food he was eating, and instead found out that he would need surgery the next day. There is no way I could've possibly afforded the surgery and all the follow up care if I didn't have insurance for him, and I probably would have lost my best friend if he couldn't have had the surgery. This has obviously been a terribly stressful and scary situation, but it would have been so much worse if I had to worry about finding a way to cover the costs on my own.

Courteous and responsive action

We had Bailey and Morgan (Boston Terriers) for the last 9 years. Bailey passed 4 years ago (coyote attack) and Morgan had the same coyote attack later and she survived, but a few months ago she developed breath/throat issues and was in too much pain. The family is devastated but we know they both had a good life a lot of love and they gave us all great joy. I appreciate all of the courteous and responsive action your company has provided and will call on you again in the future if we find another Bailey and Morgan. Thank you so very much.
