Customer service that went above and beyond for me

We had to get emergency care for our cat that amounted to more than a $1000 charge from the vet. We faxed the claim to Pets Best and called to make sure they received it. Bryn went above and beyond what I would have expected to verify that they had received it and she was very understanding and more than helpful during the entire process. I really appreciated the extra effort she put in to helping me.

Vet Recommended

My little dog Maisie is my pride and joy. Everyday I come home from school she is the first to greet me and always with a wag in her tail. She is more than a dog to me she is my baby and I only want the best for her. That is why when my vet recommended Pets Best I bought the best policy I could.

I Love Pets Best!

Saffy had been having a recurring digestive issue for a couple of years and no one could figure out what was wrong. After spending $1500 to figure it out, she was finally diagnosed with Addison's Disease which is totally treatable! Brad was amazingly helpful with my claim. There was some miscommunication between my vet and Pets Best receiving the correct invoice that they needed. Brad got into direct with my vet and solved the problem. I had my money back within two days of the problem being solved! It was amazing. I love Pets Best!

Outstanding Customer Service

My cat was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and my vet recommended treatment that was going to cost more than $1100. I certainly couldn't afford this and I was so happy when I called the people at Pet Best Insurance when they told me that they would cover most of cost of the treatment. The customer service at Pet Best is always outstanding and I can't thank them enough!

Pets Best has always come through for me!

I have called three times over the last two years for two separate dogs. Claims were submitted at different times for each one. I am more than pleased with their employees, the care and concern that is evident via a phone conversation. The two claims that were submitted were processed quickly and efficiently. I have told other dog loving friends that they must get insurance for their pets if they don't already have it. Pets best is the way to go!
