Pets Best is fantastic

Pets Best is fantastic. Taking care of and English Mastiff, Bullmastiff, Cat and an Amazon Parrot can be financially stressful. Pets Best is a God send. Thank you.

The easiest, no hassle process!

The easiest, no hassle process ever! Bean & Lucy needed their shots and flea treatment. I took them to the vet, submitted the invoices/receipt and received payment within a few short days!

This claim was a routine claim for a long term issue my dog has where she needs to take medication for. I never have any issues with any claims with Pets Best and have even suggested your company to my vet when someone asks about pet insurance.

I've been lucky and have not had much of a chance to use it. Thanks goodness but they cover some of the annual shots which is good.

I have paid 4 months for insurance and when I placed a claim they declined the claim stating my dog had a preexsisting condition. My dog was never diagnosed with any condition. Also I just happen to meet my deductable. If I have to appeal every decision Im not interested in doing business with a company that spends more time trying not to pay then helping its clients.
