Pets Best should be called Pets Best Insurance

Our 10 year old Mastiff female has been suffering with chronic kidney disease this year. Being able to afford her medical care has been a comfort. Our 3 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback has just been diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy and having insurance has allowed me to give him the medical care he needs. Claims are easy to file (even without the computer) and reimbursement arrives in time to pay the credit card bills. I have used a number of different insurance carriers over the years, but Pets Best has really lived up to their name.

Able to save my dogs' lives without second thought

My 10 1/2 year old German Shepherd, a retired Champion, was fine at 6pm, relaxing in his crate after he ate. At 7:20pm he started squeaking. When I checked on him, I realized he was bloating. Time is of the essence, as you have a 1-3 hour window to get them to the Vet for medical intervention to save their life. I was able to rush him to the ER and they saved his life with surgery. It is so comforting to know PetsBest is there for me, once again, to help save my dog's life. It seems that these life saving surgeries tend to cost $3500 to $5,000.I have had PetsBest since 2009. I have all of my cats and dogs covered with them. It is a great benefit and peace of mind knowing I can count on them. Very fair, very prompt.

Love Pets Best

My dog Livy has eye problem and needed prescribed eye drops. Pets Best covers the prescribed drops and the refills. Very easy to file claim online.
