We are so thankful for Pets Best

The loss of our beloved Buster has been devastating. My husband and I want to thank Pets Best from the bottom of our hearts for the coverage. If it wasn’t for Pets Best, we would have needed to take out a $4,000 loan to cover the vet, medical and hospital expenses. We are immensely thankful and grateful for their dedicated customer service who responded quickly and efficiently with our claim. Our sincerest gratitude!

My appreciation to the Pets Best team. I am a new client and could not be more pleased with the service I have received. As Maggie Belle and I struggle through this difficult glaucoma journey, what a comfort to know I have the support and caring of Pets Best.
