Pets Best cares!

Pets Best cares enough to support us (the parents of the pets)to have the Vet see our pets and then we receive help in the form of a check from the Insurance Company. Our pet receives better care when we all work together for the good of our pet.

Pets' Best is truly the Best

I have nothing but the best experience in chosing Pets Best for our two "rescued" Great Danes. The coverage is excellent so is the process for executing my claims. I hate filling out forms and Pets Best is always willing to help me out. Thank you Pets Best. I truly appreciate the ease for making claims and the expedient way you follow up and execute my claims. Claims advisers are friendly, courteous and so helpful. As I said, Pets Best is the best.

Thank you!

I was very thankful I had insurance when my cat passed away. I was able to do a variety of procedures to try to help him survive, but he was too sick. Without the insurance I would not have been able to do all I could have and I would have felt like I failed him. Pets Smart helped me with my claim very quickly and it was a peace of mind after it went through. Thank you!
