Pets Best is truly the BEST.

Pets Best is truly the BEST. The website is extremely easy to use from adding another pet to submitting a claim, it just couldn't be any easier. The claim process is user friendly, the way in which the decision was reached is also easy to understand and payment was in my mailbox within days. I have recommended Pets Best to my friends and family and will continue to do so.

I will use Pets Best again

We had to say goodbye to our best friend, Boba Rex. I was unsure of whether or not euthanasia/cremation was covered under our policy but sent in anyway. I was waiting to cancel the policy for him until I received word on his final claim. I was surprised to see the majority was covered, as well, as then Boba Rex's pet's policy was cancelled and we were given a prorated refund, which I did not expect. It made the whole process of having to deal with putting my dog down so much easier. Thank you. I will continue to use Pets Best for my other animals.

Appreciate the speedy response

We received the check within days of submitting the claim. We appreciate the speedy response. Do think the premium is way too high. It has increased so much over the last couple of years that we may have to drop it.
