Truly excellent

Minimal paperwork, excellent customer service, fast payment, no hassels. Human medical insurance should be this good.

Couldn't be happier.

I am so happy that I signed my three dogs up with Pets Best insurance. I submitted a claim for my dog Dante for an ongoing skin condition. Pets Best customer service encourage me to submit all claims pertaining to that condition for review. The claims covered a period of several months. During the process they were very friendly, helpful and professional. I was amazed at how quickly the claims were processed and the direct deposit was received at my bank. Thank you Pets Best!! I have recommended your services to several others because of the awesome service provided.

I've never loved an insurance company before . . .

I NEVER write reviews. But I have to compliment and thank Pets Best. Took my dog in for raisin toxicity (don't ask) on Thurs night. Bill came to $1790 (48 hrs emergency care and monitoring). Submitted claim Sunday night, online. Claim processed by Tuesday night. Pets Best is covering $1353. Had this kind of accident once before with VPI. They paid less than $200 out of a $1000 bill. Enough said.

My policy for year was $600 last year. Just got renewal notice and it has triple premium on 2nd year to almost $1400 for one year. My dog is perfectly healthy and great vet record. This is crazy!!!!!! Go with embrace or petplane

One Satisfied Customer

I am very please with the service I got from Pets Best! My do is almost 8 and I began to worry about her health. She has been healthy and wanted to keep her that way. One might not know what will happen when she gets older, so wanted to protect her and myself as well. I submitted a claim on Monday and on Friday it had been paid. You are AMAZING Pets Best!
