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!

Wellcare benefits are not good

The filing process is great and the reimbursement very prompt, but I wish the reimbursements were higher. While I am thankful my dog does not generally require more significant services, paying $50 on a $202.50 claim is not great. It only pays $25 per year for Heartguard and Frontline products.

Awesome!!!!

Will never have another pet without insurance. My Mosie developed a blood clot, had to be put in intensive care shortly after purchasing the insurance. He ended up dying. They paid for everything including the cremation. My Kali has a problem with her eyes and the drops are very expensive. She will be 18 soon and has had problems that come with aging. They have paid for everything, and make having a senior dog so much easier. One of the best things that I have ever done. They're wonderful!!!!

A Must Have

This is my first time having pet insurance for a pet. I filed a claim for a my dog, who required a needle aspiration on a mass. Easy filing of the claim online from home and received a response, with a clear explanation and payment within 1 week. I'm so glad my family chose to have pet insurance.
