It's a scam

I have had pet insurance through pets best for a year now and have not been pleased. They take 66 dollars a month from us and then when we file a claim for something, accident or illness related, nothing seems to be covered. It is not worth the monthly premium for the minimal coverage they provide.

She swallowed a what?

My dog Nikki swallowed a quarter and needed an endoscopy to remove it. It was found by accident during an x-ray for back pain. After the endoscopy she developed esophagitis and pneumonia. She needed to be hospitalized for a week.After numerous visits to the hospital she is finally well. I don't know what I would have done without Pets Best insurance. They paid the claim which was almost five thousand dollars. I had peace of mind that I was able to get the best care for Nikki and never had to worry about paying for it. Thank you Pets Best you are a lifesaver.

Terrific

My pet has cancer. She has had 3 surgeries to remove low grade malignant tumors over the last two years. The first two were minor; the last was not. It was also 4x more expensive. Your company was terrific. You turned the claim in ten days. My own health care insurance won't do that. Many thanks.
