The Best Coverage at a Stellar Price

Fortunately, I have not had to submit a claim for Tasha this past year. Pet's Best Insurance is very good to work with on an administrative level. You are given 30 to 45 days' notice before your policy expires along with your renewal rate which gives you ample time to decide. I checked out so many other insurance companies and Pet's Best, by far, offered the best coverage at a reasonable rate.

Best Decision I Ever Made!

Best thing I ever did was buy insurance from Pets Best. I only wish I had known about it sooner--it would have helped me so much.

Caring and Excellent Claims Handling

I have to be honest, I was conflicted about keeping pet insurance, but fortunately we decided with a 10 year old dog it probably was wise to continue the policy. When Annie decided to eat a box of D-Con there was no question we would do everything in our power to save her no matter the cost. We were so pleased that the claim was processed immediately and actually covered most of our expenses. Annie has a long way to go, but we are so thankful she is still with us and thankful to Pets Best for being there and handling claims in such a caring and efficient way.

We're so greateful to have Pets Best Insurance

Bella has loved hiking and trail running with us over the years, until we recently discovered she has hip dysphasia at age 5. The news has been devastating and was followed by an injury to her hip. We have been grateful to have Pets Best Insurance to help us through what we know will be a long road to recovery for our energetic Border Collie mix.
