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.

Professional, fast and compassionate!

Pets Best Insurance is amazing. The employees are always helpful, friendly and compassionate. Claim service is fast and efficient. I wish my "people insurance" was as good.

Best Pet Insurance Out There--and no age limit!

When I got my dog 3 years ago I signed up for a different pet insurance. They hassled me over claims, were whimsical in determining what was covered and what wasn't, and took months to pay up. I got Pet's Best for my mother's dog. Pet's Best was such a comfort to my mother in the last difficult & expensive years of her dog's life. Every check she'd get in the mail just amazed her. I switched to Pet's Best for my dog and added my two fat 12-year-old cats. One cat just had an icky problem (I'll spare you the details) and the claim was processed right away--with direct deposit, I should have the money in the bank today or tomorrow. I'm telling everybody about Pet's Best. It's truly a comfort to have it.
