Pet's Best really is the best!
I cannot begin to say how grateful I am that we have Pet's Best Insurance! We had never had pet insurance before and even though we had always had many pets over the years the vet bills had never been excessive--until my last beloved dog, a Boxer, developed cancer. The vet bills for that were absolutely horrendous--and it was all out of pocket : (
Around the same time my last dog was sick my former neighbors three beloved dogs all got sick (different conditions) at the same time. He did not have pet health insurance either and he ended up losing his home because of the staggeringly huge vet bills. He could not pay his mortgage and all the vet bills too and he choose to try to save his beloved dogs. Sadly his dogs all ended up dying anyway.
After my former neighbor got back on his feet and was in a position to have pets again he told me that this time he would get pet insurance.
When we got our current dog, a Boxer/Afghan Hound mix, I too was worried about the possibility of unforeseen vet expenses because of what had happened with my last one and what had happened to our former neighbor so I called him to ask what insurance he had gotten for his new dogs and he told me that he had researched and compared all the companies very carefully and that he had gotten Pets Best because it really was the very best one.
So we bought a Pets Best policy for our current dog. Since he was young and healthy and we took such excellent care of him the policy was more for our own peace of mind. We didn't think we would ever have to use it for many years to come. Were we ever wrong! Not long after buying the policy our dog started developing all sorts of different health conditions--countless tumors/lumps/growths with all sorts of different causes which have required countless biopsy's and surgeries, countless different infections with countless rounds of antibiotics and antifungals, an intestinal obstruction from swallowing a foreign object, uveitis which required medications, allergies and immune problems, glaucoma which requires ongoing eye medications, pancreatic enzyme deficiency which now requires ongoing enzyme supplementation, and that is only a partial list--there have been so many things that have gone wrong with him that I cannot even remember them all. And often as soon as he got out of his e-collar following recovery from one surgery he would have new tumors/lumps/growths and back in for another surgery he would have to go. Our family has ha
