Pets Best did an amazing job.

Pets Best did an amazing job for my dogs routine care claim process. It took just 5 days from the date I submitted the claim to when I saw the money in my bank account. Super fast process and what I loved was that they kept me updated by email the whole time. Not once did I have to reach out to them! They did everything flawlessly.

What a great company.

What a great company. This our 2nd contract on our second standard poodle. After we had to put down our last dog., we received loving cards and phone calls on loosing our Sophie. They held our Account open knowing we would be getting another standard poodle (Zoe). This company is a true part of our family. Thank you Ray Houghton Zoe
