I have had Pets Best Insurance for my…

I have had Pets Best Insurance for my dog for the past nine years. They have given me nothing but exceptional service over those nine years. I have submitted three claims during that time. They have always been prompt and courteous with reimbursement and an explanation with regards to the reimbursement. It gives you peace of mind to have a company backing you when your pet is faced with a medical emergency.

I will always choose Pets Best.

My baby, Nicholas Bradley, had been insured with Pets Best since he was a pup and Pets Best was recommended to me by his breeder. Pets Best has always been so good with Nicky. Nicky passed away a week ago due to congestive heart failure and it was necessary for me to make the decision to let him rest. It was the hardest decision I ever had to do because to me he was still so young. Pets Best processed my claim and when I was about to contact Pets Best to cancel his policy, I received an email a few hours later that he policy had been canceled. It wasn't a form letter, or at least it didn't seem to me. They notified me of the cancelation but they also acknowledged my sorry and grief of my loss. For that I am grateful. I still have my Sara Willow with Pets Best. I pray she will live a longer and healthier life. If the time comes where I can open up my heart again to another fur baby because I would like to, I will always choose Pets Best for my fur babies' needs. Thank you.

Pets Best is excellent.

My dog had an unexpected surgery and we Pets Best was excellent. We uploaded a copy of our bill, and 7 days later a check arrived with a detailed explanation. Easy and fast, Pets Best really helped ease the stress of an already stressful situation.
