Best and honest pet insurance

My dog had a stomach issue. After paying for the hospital bills, I was reimbursed by petsbest in 5 days. I had no problems with the claiming process.

Don't waste your money!

If you want to prepare for the day your pet gets ill, set aside money every month so you'll have it when you need it. Paying a premium is like flushing your money down the toilet. When the time comes, NOTHING will be covered! I paid premiums for 5 years on 2 and then 3 cats...what a WASTE of thousands of dollars!

Excellence service !

We've had Pets Best insurance coverage for our Maltese since she was a puppy. Claims have always been extremely easy to submit, quickly and fairly processed and paid in a timely manner. I only wish our family's healthcare insurance coverage was this good.

Easy to claim and quick results

It was easy to file the claim via the Internet. The claim was resolved within a short time without any issues.
