My 1st born deserves the VERY best!

When you have an easy going dog who gives as much love as she gets, and something goes wrong, you want to know that you're giving her the best care. Then when the crisis subsides, knowing your insurance is there to help you through is priceless. Having online submission & direct deposit takes the stress out of the "business" of our dog's healthcare.

Very easy and fast

It was the first time I've made a claim and it was very quick and painless. They paid exactly what I had calculated and I am very happy with this insurance.

Covered 1,000's of $$ in my claims, so happy

I wasn't sure about pet insurance for a long time. Then my first dog, Plano, swallowed a bunch of socks and racked up a $2,500 bill. I decided pet insurance was for me after paying out of pocket for that and got it for both Plano and Plinko. Not only did they cover the second time Plano swallowed a sock (accidents aren't pre-existing as long as the first has totally cleared up), but they covered Plinko's torn ACL. Both in the multiple of thousands of dollars. And how quickly they pay claims is just unbelievable. THE BEST!

I love these guys!

I have had two dogs that were insured by Pet's Best. My first dog had cancer, and eventually passed away. During this very sad time for me there were a lot of claims. Pet's Best not only paid them immediately without any problems at all, but, on the few occasions when I had to talk to them, were KIND. Where do you find that?? They actually made me feel better after talking to them.Now I have a new dog, who had an accident, and, again, they paid my claim immediately. I love these guys!

Good Wellness Options!

Rescued a second girl(Brownie)and added her to my policy for Miss Daisy. It was quick and easy. Paid for with existing account. The sales agent also had good recommendations for us on the new type of policy we should get... Now we have a Brownie and a Daisy. My husband says "there will be no Scout". Anyway, we really like the routine care coverage!
