Great pet insurance

I’d never filed a claim before, so there was some back and forth until I got things right-but, reimbursement came quickly once I did.

Thank Goodness for Health Insurance!

I have an aging dog with multiple health issues. I am so glad I have Pets Best! They have promptly and fully paid on every claim. It has allowed me to give her excellent care without endangering my retirement budget!

Pets Best absolutely does what they…

Pets Best absolutely does what they say! We got insurance for our dog when she was a puppy and starting around her 1 year birthday she started having lots of gastrointestinal problems. Needless to say we've been to vet countless times and Pets Best has paid all our claims as per our policy. Don't know what we would have done without them! Thank you!
