Thank you PetsBest

Have been with PetsBest since late 2012 for my Cocker Spaniel. They are fast with processing of their claims, and reimbursements if applicable, depending on your deductible(s). I highly recommend PetsBest Insurance for your furry kids/friends.

Pets Best Staff was very helpful

My family and I would like to express our appreciation to Pets Best for handling our claims in such a timely fashion.Our beloved pet, Bambi Lyn, passed away and the grief was over-whelming, but the Pet’s Best Staff helped us through the process of filing the claims, reimbursed us as promised and relieved us of so much stress. We would gladly tell anyone interested, to pick Pets Best for their pet insurance.

Thank you!

Pets Best offers something that other pet insurances do not. They offer insurance for the older pet! The reason this was importan to us is because we are a middle age couple, about 50 years in age, when we adopted a middle aged dog, named Zeus, from a shelter. What we did not know is that Zeus had been neglected and had a host of health problems that required treatment that we quickly realized we could not afford. Upon further research, Pets Best was the ONLY pet insurance that would take Zeus. Because of Pets Best, we could offord a happy healthy life to give to Zeus. Pets Best offered affordable care that made Zeus happy, which made us happy! Even if we adopt a young pet, we would go back to Pets Best, because they were willing to take on Zeus, whom we love! Because of Pets Best policy, we are and will be loyal customers!

Great Insurance

It's such a relief when your pet gets sick to know that your insurance will help you cover some of the cost. Every year that we have had Pets Best it has more than paid for itself. Our Zoe could get into some trouble (drinking random water, ripped dew claw) and every time they reimbursed us exactly as expected. They only charged one deductible for multiple visits to treat an ongoing issue.

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill. Reimbursements are sent directly to CareCredit credit card when chosen as your default reimbursement method. Choose to have your eligible claim payment reimbursed directly back to your CareCredit card.
