Great Insurance for Great Danes

I have been with Pets Best for many years and have never had an issue. This company is amazing and I would not even dream about having Great Danes and not having this insurance. Pets Best makes it possible for us to enjoy the breed of dog we like without worrying financially about our vet visits.

Pets Best is WONDERFUL

While I understand Pet Insurance is a business - PetsBest has been nothing short of wonderful when it comes to Nittany's health. Sadly, she has Epilepsy that requires constant care but she is nonetheless a loved member of our family. We are grateful for the great customer service, compassion and support we have received from Pets Best over the past 7 years. Nittany sends her thanks as well!

Wonderful Company!

Our dog was diagnosed with IBD in 2011. Since then Pets Best has been WONDERFUL!! It was difficult to get him stabilized initially and he was in and out of vet offices. He is stable now and Pets Best has not only been quick with claims, but also very kind every time I have called. I always recommend Pets Best to friends.

Fantastic Company!

Pets Best has been fantastic! They are extremely prompt on payment on claims. They are more expensive than some companies, but they reimburse so much more. My 19 year old cat recently passed away and I submitted the claim for the cremation. Not only did they promptly pay it, the took care of cancelling my policy without me having to make that difficult phone call. And they sent me a nice card. I strongly recommend this company. They're worth the extra cost!
