Would recommend Pets Best to anyone.

My dog ate something around our apartment complex the other day. He was super sick looking and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He looked like he was dizzy and off balance. I took him to the near by ER Vet. They ended up diagnosing him with Marijuana Intoxication although his toxicity test came back negative. Either way , they gave him the standard treatment for it. The vet kept insisting that he probably ate some weed around the house or something and kept asking if we were sure he didn't get like a joint and eat it . We don't smoke ! I was pretty upset about that. I was worried that Pets' Best would deny the claim thinking that we got our dog high . All in all it was a smooth and easy process getting my claim handled and whatever question I had they answered in a timely manner. Would recommend this to anyone with any kind of pet.
