One of the Best Decisions We've Made

After our dog wound up in the ER for swallowing a foreign object, we purchased Pets Best Insurance the next day and are very glad we did! Since purchasing the insurance, our dog has been back to the ER several times, been spayed (with complications and another ER visit with x-rays), as well as the usual immunizations. Last week she ate chocolate and got sick. Pets Best paid their portion minus the copay every time. The peace of mind is wonderful. THANKS!!!

Not the best

No call back when I was promised a call back. All claims are attributed to preexisting temporary conditions.

Truly is the BEST

Everything is easy. The claim form is simple, you get reimbursed within a week in most cases, and they keep you posted step by step by email. Couldn't ask for a better process. I'm always recommending Pets Best Insurance.

Bubba

We rescued a bulldog in November 2013 and I was advised I should get insurance (anyone who owns a bulldog will know why that insurance is important). I came across Pet's Best in an online search. I was a little skeptical in the beginning but now I am so happy I purchased a policy with Pet's Best.... The ease of the claims process, the fairness of the paying out of claims, and the direct deposit of payments are all amazing! I am so happy to be insured by Pet's Best!
