Worth Every Penny

I have had my dog for almost a year now and she has been a very healthy little girl. I started to wonder why I was paying $45/month when i wasn't seeing it being used. Well 2 weeks ago, my dog was very sick and had to spend 2 nights/3 days in the hospital. When I received the bill, I worried about the cost and how much I would get back. Luckily, I hadnt needed to submit any claims to Pets Best but I was worried there would be "small print" and a large chunk of my bill would not be covered. To my surprise and delight, the 80/20 rule was 100% percent accurate. Not only did I receive 80% of my bill, but the claim was processed exactly a week after receiving it and the direct deposit has already been put into my account. There are no secret or hidden agendas with PetsBest and they are the best insurance company. I am extremely happy with the results and would recommend them to any pet owner!

Very happy with Pets Best!

We have been with Pets Best for about 4 years now and we couldn't be happier! We have 3 cats and 1 dog and we couldn't live without Pets Best!! Something always seems to come up with one of our animals and having pet insurance through Pets Best has definitely been one of the best things we have done for our animals (and for us!) We would highly recommend Pets Best for anyone with animals!

Absolutely The Best!!!!!!!

i've had dogs my whole adult life and my dogs have always had insurance. From my experience, Pets Best is truly worth the investment bar none. Don't waste your time with other companies, because I've researched and / or used them all. No other company provides the reimbursements that Pets Best does, not to mention the fact that I don't have to wait for a check to arrive in the mail - they offer direct deposit and process claims FAST. If your animal has an issue, you pay a co-pay just like all the others. One huge difference with Pets Best is that if your animal is EVER seen by a vet for the same condition again, no co-pay is required. This is huge! The others make you pay the $50 or $75 co-pay each time there is an event. Pets Best really saves you money over the others. They have great customer service as well. Additionally, if you send or fax in a claim and you think something was overlooked, they'll fix it. No problem at all. Totally worth the money!
