Best pet insurance ever!

I was very apprehensive before purchasing pet insurance. There are a lot of negative reviews out there however Pets Best had great reviews and so we went with them. This is by far the best pet insurance ever! We have never had any issues with premiums, filing claims or just reaching out to customer service with questions. I am very pleased with this company and will continue to keep this policy. We are going to be getting another puppy soon and you can bet we will be purchasing another policy for that pup as well. Thanks so much!!!

More than worth it

Reuben had vomited more than 4 times and in one of them were two rocks. I was worried he had a blockage, so off to the vet we went where he got an X-ray to ensure he was "cleaned out." Thankfully, there were no additional rocks. They gave us anti- nausea meds in addition to a shot to calm his stomach and off we went. I have never had health insurance for my pets before my current two dogs and honestly, it's a relief. Vet Bills get expensive very quickly and my monthly payment is more than worth it. The first year of a dog's life and their end years has always proven to be the most expensive for me-all unexpected costs. Thank you.
