Foreign-Body Surgery Claim A Success

This is the first time I have purchased medical insurance on my pets. Gracie is my treasure and I did not ever want to have to make a sad decision based on having to spend money on vet care. She is less than 1 year old, but when she developed an infection, it turned out that a seed, a foreign body had migrated (perhaps introduced by biting on sticks) and lodged above her right eye. Pets Best covered $75 of the surgery and medicines (the entire claim was $192 with a $100 deductible). Given the severity of the situation, it could have definitely cost more. This helps me to see that should something even more serious happen, she has a good plan that instills confidence in me. If you are shopping for coverage as I was, remember that certain limitations apply after your dog is one or two years old! So getting insurance the earlier the better will save you money and allow you to use it should hereditary breed problems arise. PetsBest costs me 20.01 each month for her (that's the price of lunch) and is underwritten by Aetna, a national company with a good reputation. I did not select the Wellness options since spaying and shots were a given but I wanted to protect her from expensive unforeseen care. Other plans were quite a bit more. This seemed like the best value that offered Illness coverage in ADDITION to Accident. I plan to keep PetsBest on her as long as I can, who would have known she would have been using it so soon? She is a woodsy girl who loves to play outside and sticks

I got insurance for both my boys. Vet thought it was a good idea. After researching I selected Pets Best. Affordable, easy to work with and lots covered. Best of all we have piece of mind.

Saved Zelda's life

Zelda, our German Shepherd puppy was our first family dog. Naturally when she beacame ill it was very heartbreaking to the whole family. My 12 year old son cryed everyday she spent in the hospital. If it were not for Pets Best, we could not have afforded the care that she required. Pets Best saved our puppy. I will never have a dog without having their protection.

Very Happy for the Money

I currently have 10 dogs insured under Pets Best. I have very quick claims reimbursement and the customer service has been excellent with one exception that was correctedFor the money, they are well worth it. I would like to have better coverage but right now, insuring 10 dogs with the current policy seems to work. I have 6 Dobermans, and 4 other assorted mixed breed dogs, 4 of the dobermans are albinos.

Outstanding Coverage & Claim Settlement

We have had pet insurance on our Great Pyrenees and two Bichon Frises for over 14 years - the past 6 years with PetsBest. We have had tremendous medical expenses with our Bichons but the coverage we have with PetsBest has greatly helped with these expenses. They cover everything promised, no hassle in charges, services, claims settlement and their reimbursement checks normally arrive in the mail before our American Express statement arrives. We love our little girls as we love our children and grandchildren, have always provided them the very best in their lives including veterinarian care and are very appreciative to have their health insurance through such a superior company. We have recommended PetsBest to all of our friends and can not recommend PetsBest highly enough to everyone.
