Do not buy

Pets best may pay on time but in last four years my policy rate on my dog went from $57/mo -$128/mo -$169/mo to $212/ mo. Over last four years. For the same policy. Although they may start your rates low like other companies they raise them very quickly once your dog has an issue. I compared her rate to Trupanion. Which was $126/mo. Same breed age and location. Same deductible. Healthy Paws was $97/mo. Little higher deductible. These rates are $90+ / mo less. They have made it very difficult for me to do right by my dog. When I thought getting insurance was the responsible thing to do. Do not give them your business.

Thank you for the peace of mind

We have had PetsBest policies for both of our miniature schnauzers for many years. We are grateful for the peace of mind it affords us in caring for their health concerns. The claims process is very easy, responses are prompt and with clear explanations.

Disappointed

My dog likes to "eat " things. Found out today that this behavior is considered "repetitive ". If he eats anything else in the next 18 months, he will not be covered.

Financial help for My dear doggy

Meme was diagnosed with inoperable Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Her claim was handled efficiently. We started with our regular Vet and then where referred to Specialist. All the claims were paid promptly. Iggy one of our other dogs claim was settled, last year, just as efficiently
