A breeder who endorses this insurance

I am a Papillon breeder and at any given time I have around 15-20 dogs and puppies insured through Pets Best. I insure puppies as soon as they are eligible. Pets Best has long processing times but they have never denied me a claim and have always come through. Their low premiums enable me to insure the number of dogs I do; this would be completely impossible with any other insurer. I recommend Pets Best to all of my puppy owners and I also endorse it on my website. Thanks greatly for your service.

We love Pets Best!!

We love Pets Best! It's affordable and provides great coverage for all 3 of our fur babies! They always are quick to review our claims. So far we have only used our benefits for wellness; but in an emergency it gives us peace of mind we will be taken care of.

Great site , one change request

Everything about using pets best has been great , ease of initially putting claims in and reimbursement . Only one thing would be useful is to put the sign up date for each pet under their picture profile so you don’t have to search through document list to find it or call customer service.
