This is the very best pet insurance!

I had two dogs insured with Pets Best, who were sisters. Two years ago, one dog ended with her immune system attacking her red blood cells. Pets Best was extremely helpful during that time. Unfortunately she didn't survive. Her remain sister is now going thru uncureable nasal cancer, and they have been there through all of the claim process, and continue to do so. I can't say enough about their service, and how well they expedite the claims. I had been with another carrier some year past, which was terrible. I have been with Pets Best for several years, and have recommended them to friends, the vet for my dog, etc. They are Outstanding and the name is absolutely correct "Pets Best"

PetsBest - perfect name!!

My Aussie Riley just got hit by a car last Thursday. She is going to be fine and thankfully had NO broken bones! My Vet faxed in the claim on Friday and PetsBest deposited the insurance money in my checking account on WEDNESDAY! No muss no Fuss! What a huge help because paying for a $1600 vet bill right after paying my taxes was going to be really tough. I have never had such an easy time with an insurance company. I recommend PetsBest to everyone!

Loyal Customer

I was a customer a few years ago for several years.When I lost my pet, Tyrus, I was very touched by the professional courtesy and compassion that the representative showed and followed by a sympathy card later. I always had a positive experience with quick payments on my account when applicable. I can't tell you how much I appreciated their sympathy and ease to deal with, that made me truly love Pets Best. When it came time for me to acquire new pet insurance with wellness plans for Brownie, Peaches and Peanut, there was no need to even shop other companies. I feel I can trust their professionalism and I know when needed they will be there to offer their support. I am grateful to have reconnected with them and look forward to many years of valued customer service. I would highly recommend them to any customer who is struggling with choosing the right company. For me and my family, there is no better choice than PETS BEST!

Thank you Pets Best!

My 10 year old Bichon was recently diagnosed with hepatitis. Having to deal with your pet's illness is stressful enough without having to deal with insurance issues. I have been so impressed with the responsiveness of Pets Best. One claim was submitted on a Weds. and I had a reimbursement check on Saturday. I would recommend Pets Best insurance to any pet owner!

Pets Best... You are awesome.

I am pleased to have PETS BEST insurance for my dog. I have two years and four months Golden Retriever. I purchased PETS BEST insurance right after she had a spay surgery when she was 5 months old. At that time one guy next to me was writing a check for $4000 for his dog’s surgery but he didn’t have insurance. I had thought that it would be nice to have an insurance for incase. About 15 days ago, my dog had graved a part of branch of Juniper tree and it made her coughing and pushed the branch into her nose. We had to take her to the Georgia Veterinary Specialist in Atlanta because our vet in town didn’t have the equipment to get it out from my dog’s nose. With two times treatment in town and Atlanta trip, we had spent almost $1150.00 in two weeks. PETS BEST insurance processed my claim very fast and I had their reinvestment in 5 days. We never thought my dog was getting this accidental injury. It was very nice to be covered 80% of my cost. My dog is a pretty healthy dog but something was telling me about “Incase.”
