Couldn't Be Happier!

My Doberman Pinscher is 8 months old and we have been battling a strange mass for a few months now. Pets Best has paid every single claim, without questions, for her initial vet visit, diagnoses of the mass, biopsy, surgeon consult visit and lastly, surgery. I am very happy with their service and the fast payment of the claims.

Peace of mind.

I had my dogs surgery done on Wednesday. By Friday night, the claim was settled, and they paid as agreed. This is, unfortunately, not the first claim I have had to make for my dogs, and Pets Best has always came through. Their customer service is amazing, also. I highly recommend.

Pets Best is playing a huge part in getting our girl back to healthy.

We never considered pet insurance until my daughter's 8 year old maltipoo had to be put asleep after a spinal injury. We looked at a few different companies and decided on Pets Best for our 2 Maltese ages 5 and 6. The 5 year old maltipoo had been very healthy. After about 1 month on the plan she had diarrhea. We thought it was something that an injection and some medication would take care of. But it did not get better. After multiple vet visits and bringing in a specialist, she was diagnosed with protein losing enteropathy. Her protein and albumin levels were very low, she lost weight and you could feel her rib cage and spine when you would pet her. After 4 months of medications and close monitoring, she is starting to turn the corner and get better. Pets Best has been wonderful during the process. All claims have been paid timely and as expected. We thank Pets Best for playing a huge part in hopefully getting our girl back to health.
