I Wish I Had Never Heard of Pets Best
I recently switched from one pet insurance company to Pets Best and a couple of months later my dog died unexpectedly from an undiagnosed lung problem (undiagnosed because she died before the test results came in). Pets Best denied my claim because it decided that a bone marrow problem she had three years previously constituted a "pre-existing condition". Obviously, the two are completely unrelated and Pets best does not allow you to speak with the people who review claims nor will they give you any information on the rational they use to deny claims.

Pet's Best Is Simply The Best
We recently lost our Boston terrier, Mr. Mugs, to a brain tumor. Pet's Best was with us every step of the way, answering questions, doing pre-certs for expensive testing and coming through for us, every time, in the amount we expected. Nothing can bring our little boy back to us, but having the peace of mind they gave us when a pet is sick, was priceless. I will use Pet's Best in the future and recommend it to everyone.

You all are the best of the very best...
Tumi, our cat had been vomiting his food for the longest time.He was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. My wife and I finally came accrosed Dr. John R. Wallace, DVM (Medical Director, VCA Spring Mountain Animal Hospital).
Dr. Wallace knew exactly how to treat Tumi because he has a cat of his own that suffers from the same. Who better than Dr. Wallace.

Extremely Pleased
Pets Best has been great to work with. I obtained coverage for my 3.5 pound Yorkie when she was just over a year old, and am certainly glad I did! The investment in the plan is well worth the return! They process claims fast, nothing is hidden, great coverage, and the ease of use via their website can't be any easier. I submit my claim online, and have the money deposited via direct deposit within a week!
