I have been three years with Pets Best…
I have been three years with Pets Best for my two little chihuahuas and I have the emergency plan. I have been comfortable with the easy and fast process and I have always paid back for their surgery, two times for my oldest and one with my youngest. I remember the very first time it was not proceeding but I went for the appeal option and they investigate again and it went through. For me it has been a good experience to have them as my dogs insurance because is so easy and they always comply on time. Thank you for having our back Pets Best!

Hassle-free
As always the process was hassle free and payment was fast. I completely understood the explanation of benefits and everything was in order. I refer you to all my friends with pets because I truly love your service however I was told MD law does not allow me to receive any credit, points etc. for referrals. If this has changed please let me know.
