Pets Best is one of the best decisions I have made

My reason for enrolling my dog Daisy in the Pets Best plan was to remove concerns about money from my thinking when it comes to her care, and simply do what is best for her. And that is what Pets Best has enabled me to do. Pets Best has taken an enormous weight off of me in a current health crisis. They have lived up to their commitment 100 percent, and this has made it possible for me to devote myself entirely Daisy's well being in this current health crisis. She is still under treatment and Pets Best remains in our corner. I am and always will be very grateful to Pets Best for helping both of us.

Highly recommend Pets Best

I am so glad I chose Pets Best for Theo's care! My claims are always handled promptly, the rates are reasonable, and I now have peace of mind when Theo needs veterinary care. Our most recent claim was for a costly dental procedure, and the turn around time for reimbursement was just ten days. I highly recommend this company!

Excellent Service

For the last several years, my Dog is insured with Pets Best. My experience with the insurance company is great! They are prompt and fair in handling the claims. My recent claim related to my dog ACL surgery has been handled promptly, informed me through out the review stages and finally reimbursed the amount according to the policy. I am a happy Pets Best customer! Thank you for a great service.

It took a really long time to process my claim.

My dog was hospitalize with pancreatitis for four days. It was a really stressful time, we just had a baby and funds were low. We were trying to figure out how to pay for it. I'm so glad we have Pets Best and were able to get some money back. My only complaint was that it took 13 long days to process my claim. Now I am wait 5-7 more days for it to make it to my bank account. I wish on your email and website that it would give a more realistic time frame instead of some places saying 5 days or less and when you speak to a rep they say 10 day. Under promise and over deliver and everyone will be a lot happier.

Terrific!

My twelve year old Sheltie periodicals has tendonitis. Drugs do nothing but with regular acupuncture, he is able to maintain an active happy life style. I could not afford the treatments if he did not have Pets Best. Thank you for facilitating Ranger's happiness!
