They are simply the best!

My Greater Swiss Mountain dog, Huck, had emergency gastrointestinal surgery in the spring of 2018, and has had a tough recovery. There was no known cause, and his illness remains a mystery, but he is slowly regaining his old self. Pets Best has been amazing throughout this process, and so much better than two other pet insurance companies I've used in the past. Pets Best has covered almost $5,000 in unexpected vet bills for Huck in 2018. They are fair with their claims payments, and cover what they say they will, with no fuss. Their live customer service reps are truly caring and compassionate, and I really appreciate them. I have many friends with pets, and I am constantly referring them to PetsBest. I'm so impressed with them, that I recently blogged about my experience with them, and couldn't be happier with their services. Without them, I don't know that I could have afforded to save my sweet little boy. I'll continue to use and refer them, as they are simply the best!
