A Domestic Squabble Between Our Two Cats

. . . . resulted in a nasty bite on one cat's tail. Fortunately, we got the younger cat to the doctor in plenty of time to avoid an abcess or other uncomfortable situation. Were were not insured, we might have taken a "wait and see" approach, which often results in further trouble, and more expensive medical care in the end. Pets Best turned our claim around in only a few days—in time for Christmas! The older cat is adjusting to a new family member, who is doing well—and so are we.

Pet Best insurance is the best!

I have had this insurance for 5 years. I purchased this when my saint bernard was a pup. I have only had to use it twice. But those 2 times were Great. They paid within a week. I also like the fact, I can actually call and speak with someone. The chat on their site is very useful. I am so glad that I have this insurance. It brings peace of mind to my family, that Milton will be taken care of properly. Thank you Pets Best!

Excellent and timely service

Pets Best has been my insurance company for all my cats. There is always someone accessible by phone, email or fax and payments are always timely. If there is ever an error then it is rectified. My previous cat was 8 years old when I adopted him and he passed away at the age of 21 years young. During those years he was always insured with Pets Best. Two years ago I adopted two 3 years old sisters from a shelter and they have been insurance with Pets Best from day one. I recommend Pets Best highly as they are fair, honest and reliable.

Pets Best really is THE BEST

Pets Best, We cannot begin to thank you enough for helping us save our English Bulldog! He became very sick and needed an emergency surgery. As you can imagine, it was extremely expensive. However, we were able to turn to Pets Best and this helped so much financially. We were able to focus on helping our little guy recover, instead of stressing about our finances. Pets best was very plesant to work with and again, we cannot thank you enough. Sincerely, Kirby and Tom
