Truly Pets Best

I can say without qualification that Pets Best Insurance has made it possible for me to provide quality veterinary care to my pets. I recommend Pets Best to everyone, particularly owners of new puppies. The claims process is amazingly easy and the reimbursements are very reasonable. I can't imagine not having Pets Best. It is some of the best pet care dollars I have ever spent.

the Best Vet Insurance

Pets Best is by far the best pet insurance to have!! Our pets are like our childrenand we should never have to choose between our animals and our budget. For the inexpensive price for a Pets Best policy, you know your furry loved one is well protected. I have been a policy holder for years and its one of the nest things I have done for me and my animals.thanks Pets Best

We feel lucky to have insurance

When we moved to the U.S from Belgium we also bring our 12 year-old dog along with us. We know that seeing a vet is much more expensive here in the U.S we purchased Pet Best insurance for our dog Looka. Looka has always been healthy and active so I almost want to cancel her insurance because I thought she will never ever use it. Not until she was diagnosed nasal cancer two months ago. I am amazed by Pet Best send us every check promptly within almost two weeks after we submit all the paper works. We might end up total bill 13,000 with maybe maximum cover 7000. I just felt regret that I did not buy the highest coverage insurance for Looka. I am glad that we can offer the best treatment for Looka because we have PetBest Insurance.

Pets Best is the Best!

I have had Pets Best insurance for 3 months for my Yorkie (6 months old now). I opted for the Best Wellness plan and they truly do reimburse you with 2-4 days of submitting a claim. Plus submitting a claim is super easy on their website. My net out of pocket at the end of the year (right now) is only $58 from the costs they reimbursed me (from her spay, shots, etc.) My dog also had a little accident in which she needed stitches. Pets Best reimbursed me 3 days after I submitted my claim. Its definitely no hassle. I always thought insurance policies were a scam (for people too) but I would recommend insurance to anyone who has a dog. Very reliable, fast, easy to use, and you have the comfort of knowing they will reimburse you 80% (after your deductible) in case your pet has a serious ailment.

Not competive

Had this Pet insurance for 4+ years and when money was tight another reputable pet insurance came along offering the same insurance benefits Pets Best would not match the offer to retain our business relationship. Once policy was canceled before billing date I was charged in my bank and had a hassle to get my money back. Claims were paid in timely matter however the deductibles were very high and insurance only really makes sense if only something SERIOUS happens.
