Exceptional coverage, again!

For the third time this insurance has more than paid for itself. My dog is not sickly, but he has had his share of unusual accidents. I am just thrilled with Pets Best and have recommended them to many friends and family members.

Pets best is great.

This is my very first time owning pet insurance, therefore I'm not all acquainted with how the process works. Although this claim didn't take long to be porocessed so I'm very satisfied with that.

Wonderful experience

My dog was attacked at a dog park requiring a vet visit to clean and treat two bites. It was so easy to submit my claim (just sent pictures of the bill and payment via email). My claim was processed in about 8 days and payment is on the way to my bank account.

Pet insurance satisfaction

All my dogs and cats are insured by Pets Best. Years ago I was shopping pet insurance and had a veterinarian ( a board certified specialist) tell me the best insurance for pets is Pets Best. He knew this from hearing from his clients, and his own pets. I've been with Pets Best for many years now and can honestly say they always have done what an insurance company should do, take care of the pets they insure and they have excellent customer support services. I buy my insurance the day I pick up my pet and they go to the vet for their 1st exam. Thank you to Pets Best for helping my pets have the best care posiibly and being so kind.

Very fair coverage.
