Helps in time of need

Strongly recommend this company - had a different insurance company for one year before and was not happy - they reduced the benefit on every claim. Pets Best has never reduced the benefit - have always paid the 80% on the covered expenses. They pay very promptly - always before my credit card bill comes due. We have been with them over 2.5 yrs (for 3 dogs). Our older dog has the big "C" now and we can afford to give her the best chance possible because of this insurance - thanks so much Pet's Best!!!

Totally covered!

Thank you so much, Pets Best, for covering the full 80% of Mason's very expensive heat stroke scare. My husband and I are amazed how fast and easy the process is for filing all of our claims but have been particularly impressed with this one (over $2k). If only insurance for us humans were this simple!

Excellent insurance

Pets Best has covered both my dogs and reimbursed exactly as the plan states. There has never been an issue or problem with a claim. I have had other pet insurance and nothing compares to Pets Best. I highly recommend them.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND PET BESTS

They are claiming a condition pre-existed when I had insurance 2 months before my dog went into surgery for a "mole" to be removed. Then during surgery they VET found lumps. So, now I am not getting reimbursed due to Pet Best saying the condition preexisted. How am I supposed to know my dog has lumps when they were internal and not showing. I have paid Per Best almost over $150 for insurance and now I had to pay $1,200 for VET fees that will not be reimbursed now! What a horrible experience with this company. I am out a lot of money but I thought I was covered and safe.
