More than satisfied with Pets Best.
These were the final claims before my pet died of cancer. She came to us as a stray and she was insured by Pets Best for nearly the entire 11 years that I had her. Because of the many health problems that surfaced after I insured her, I think Pets Best probably lost money on us over the time she was insured. However, they never denied a covered claim nor did they cancel our insurance which surprised me. I am currently without any pets, but if I ever get another one, I will apply for Pets Best coverage. I have been more than satisfied with this company and with every customer service representative who has helped me over the years because, despite the notice that our conversations were being recorded, their reps always acted like they were working for me instead of the company.

Your company is incredible.
Your company is incredible. You truly are the best. We can get the best care for our babies and still be able to sleep at night because we have such great insurance. You are always there for us.

Excellent service.
Bart is a wonderful terrier mix we have had for 10 years. Lately he has had some issues. He lost weight and was suffering from gastritis. We were very worried. He needed some tests. We got them done. Pets Best Insurance covered them. Thank you Pets Best! Bart is in good hands! Excellent service. Prompt payment. Excellent explanation of benefits.
