Pets Best is Owners Saviour

Every claim I have submitted has been reviewed and paid expeditiously. Having an English Bulldog, I felt insurance was warranted and needed. They provide different policy options and based on the one I chose, all was reimbursed in accordance with my plan and without incident. All too often, one feels that one can be "insurance poor" and I gambled on my intuition to put Murphy on a policy and I have no regrets. Without Pets Best my credit card would have a much higher balance and Murphy was able to recoup his higher quality of life with less pain and suffering. Thank you Pets Best, for being there.

Prices going up

Unfortunately the older my dog got they automatically bumped up the price, started including copayments, so that it just has become not worth it for me to pay the monthly bills. I am happy with their customer service, but not with the actual coverage.

Very satisfied with Pets Best.

I was a bit skeptic at first when I signed up for pet insurance. I didn't think I would use it or need it, man was I wrong! My Italian Greyhound Gutty got sick one day, bloody diarrhea, vomit I though he wasn't going to make it. I took him to the vet, he suggested a few test, shots, IV etc etc I placed all my trust in my Vet and in Pets Best. My budget is a little tight and really hoped Pets Best would deliver as promised and they did! they covered 90 percent of a $700 bill in a few days! It's easy to submit a claim and I'm reimbursed via direct deposit.Low deductible and low monthly payment.

Don't gamble in Vegas, get Pets Best

My dog had a persistent skin problem and the Vet recommended a $475 allergy test. The test showed that my dog had allergies to all sorts of pollen, chicken, duck, etc. We have eliminated most sources of the allergies and My dog has been quickly healing. The insurance claim was handled faster than it took to get the test results. So we are happy with the Vet, the test and the Pets Best insurance.
