Amazing Customer Service!

I have been a customer of Pets Best for the past 3 years and had never submitted a claim before. When my dog wasn't himself the other day I took him to the vet to make sure he was okay. They ran some tests which came back good, but it was apparent that he had eaten something that made him very ill. When it came time to submit my claim, I called Pets Best with some questions and their customer service was terrific! They answered all my questions and made me feel better about the entire experience. I would recommend Pets Best to all pet owners!

There to help without hesitation!

My Frenchie was distressed, panting, up and down all night long. I couldn't figure out why, then I realized that he was licking a piece of dental floss that night and what else did he get into? Oh no, without hesitation I rushed him to the vet ER and they suggested tests to see what went wrong. Well, needless to say he is fine now and I am so glad that I did not have to hesitate to get my best friend to the ER since I know that Pets Best is there to help us. The claim was processed quickly and the staff was amazing. Thanks Again!!

Affortable

I would like to thank Pets Best Insurance.They were very helpful in helping myself with my Harley's cancer.The claims I submitted stayed as one deductible until her passing.They also,cancelled my insurance the day after she had passed,so I didn't have to pay for the whole month.

Very helpful customer service

My dog has always been healthy and upbeat, but was suffering from a severe stomach problem. He was very ill and I was very scared for his condition. After taking him to the vet to make sure he was ok, I filed a claim with Pets Best. After being a customer for over 3 years and never having to use my insurance, the customer service representative was very helpful walking me through the process and making sure I understood everything. I would recommend them to any pet owner!
