Both VCA and Pets Best are fantastic. They both care about my fur baby as much as I do.

PB has literally saved our dog’s life. Our dog was diagnosed with a challenging condition 5 months ago. We were able to move forward with treatment without delay thanks to our PB coverage. They’ve covered everything their policy said it would without harassing us or our vet for exhaustive information. Claims are easy to file from your phone. I have no complaints about PB and recommend them to everyone.

Don’t get wellness insurance.

Our claim was denied because it was not administered by a veterinarian. So the vet ordered the shot, but since their tech is the one that actually gave it, the service wasn’t covered. Ridiculous. Can’t cancel service and ever since I raised questions, every claim has been denied for silly reasons like this.

I love Pets Best!

I used to have a different pet insurance before and getting in contact with them, or filing claims was always so difficult. Ever since I switched over to PetsBest, I really enjoyed my time. It is unfortunate that I've had to take both of my cats to the emergency vet recently, but I definitely did not stress about finances, knowing that PetsBest had my back, was very responsive, And reached out to me within 24 hours if the claim wasn't filled out properly. This allowed me to fix my issue in an efficient manner and get paid back again very quick. Their invoice processing is very clear as to which funds they give back. I highly recommend PetsBest for everyone.
