Great Support

My pup has had a serious illness and a couple of accidental incidents on top of it. I am so happy that I have PetsBest Insurance for him. With all the emotional and financial stress that comes with these situations, I was grateful to have PetsBest's support with filing claims. Their customer service is great.

Good experience with insurance

Our dog recently had intestinal issues and we went to a local vet who accepted our insurance. There was no issue with payment and now our dog is fine.

About Kitaro claim

It was unfair that the claim was denial, if I have insurance is for a reason, not just for pay you money, you have many restrictions, yet you pay for Katya

Great insurance company, best customer service!

Couldn't be any happier with any insurance company. Have submitted only 3 claims or so in the last 5 years, but each one was processed in less than a week! support is excellent, website is easy to use, and submitting claims is simple.
