Kind and Helpful Service

When my dog was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer Pets Best helped cover the cost of her diagnosis and treatments. I received over $500 in reimbursement, allowing me to provide her with the best care possible. When she passed, they also reimbursed part of her cremation and cancelled my policy without my having to call and share the painful story. They even sent a condolences card and email. When I adopted my new dog this year I signed her up immediately. The process of filing claims is quick and easy. Reimbursement is also quick, and so far they have covered everything my plan is suppose to. I would highly recommend this company.

Worth it to get the insurance.

I took my dog in for his regular preventative care and submitted the claim, in less than 2 weeks I received the insurance payment. This was so easy and very worth it to get this insurance.
