You helped to save my little furry boy!

Our little boy suddenly started vomiting quickly followed by bloody diarrhea. We rushed him right in to emergency services with our vet. He was critically ill. He required services and tests. Some time later, on our way home we thought about the fact that we were blessed to be able to say yes to the tests and services and knew we could pay at the time of services and then submit a claim for reimbursement. We know of too many pet parents who couldn't do that and ultimately lost their furry kids. Thankfully, because of the quick action and care of our vet, our furry son is walking around happily wagging his tail today! Thank you Dr. and Pets Best!!! Filing the claim has been quick and easy.

Thank you, Pets Best

Your reimbursement regarding our recent claim was timely and it was fair. Our pet is important to us, and Pets Best has helped him to be able to get the care that, otherwise, we probably could not afford. Bless you.

Fast reimbursement and great easy to use claims pr

I have carried Pets Best on my dog for almost four years. It was great peace of mind even though I never used it - one very small claim the first year when she ate a chicken bone she found at the park. But recently she got very sick, and needed to spend two days in the hospital to survive. The vet thinks she ate a poisonous spider. The bill was huge. I carry one of the top plans for her with a low deductible. Pets Best covered everything but two small line items not in her policy coverage. I was reimbursed fast and their process was easy to use, I just uploaded pictures of the bills and vet notes. I recommend Pets Best to everyone I meet at the dog park. Everyone should have this, for peace of mind and so you know your dog can get the care they need when they need it. I carried it for years without needing it and hoped I never would need it, just like I've had car insurance for 20 years without ever being in an accident. But when I did need it, Pets Best was there for me. If you have a dog, you should have insurance on him/her, just like car insurance, home insurance, and your own health insurance. And I trust this insurance company. Fast, reliable, true to their word on policy coverage, great communication, excellent website and online account management and claims. A++
