Once again Pets Best have been outstanding covering Kentous expensive medical costs for detached retinas and a gastro infection.

2 visits to NCState emergency, 3 more to different vets. Total cost close to $5000.00 we received 80% back and Kentou is doing much better. Thank you Pets Best for your excellent response, we highly recommend them to all pet owners!!! Lauren and Pete.

I love Pets best !

I love Pets best ! My little dog, Carlos is alive today thanks to this insurance that made it possible to spend the high amount of money that it cost to provide the care that saved his life. I am grateful to all the people at Pets best who answered my calls calling for help to save my little dog. I do not know how people can afford to give a home to a pet. Thank you Pets Best for your help.

With Pets Best I always received a quick response to a claim as well as a refund.

I had previously signed up with another pet insurance company, but it was very expensive and they payouts were infrequent. When I changed to Pets Best I was surprised to see a quick response and almost always a check. I would highly recommend Pets Best for your pet.
