Possible brain tumor required an MRI at K-State Veterinary Hospital.

I have 3 Irish Setters. All three are insured with Pets Best. My 10 year old Tanner, started having seizures, and an MRI was required to rule out a brain tumor. K-State is an amazing facility, and diagnose was late on set idiopathic epilepsy. So relieved it was not a brain tumor -epilepsy can be controlled with meds! Bill was over $2000,00....without Pet's Best, not sure we could have afforded to give Tanner the best possible medical care, and go forward treating him with a proper diagnose. I would highly highly recommend Pet's Best for anyone who has pets, and wants to provide them with the best possible medical care.

Claim filing process is easy.

I think the claim filing process is very easy. My vet sends me a PDF of my bill, so that is incredibly helpful.

Pets Best has already paid for itself.

We have a 6 month old mixed breed, and Pet's Best has already paid for itself. Three trips to the vet is not unusual in first months, mystery intestinal illness in first few weeks, possible obstruction in puppy teething phase, and unexplained sneezing most recently. It's nice to know Pet's Best is on our side and claims are so easy to process. Plus the chat with a vet support help has been peace of mind as well.
