Wonderul Company

One dog with ACL surgery and 2 cats - one with basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma and resultant tail and toe amputations. The company is very responsive and immediately processes claims and payments. I just wish I had had such a caring and competent insurance company for my serious illnesses!

AMAZING for ongoing conditions.. in an older pet!

My eleven year old Pit Bull/Rhodesian Ridgeback mixed, male dog was diagnosed with heart disease last year; a diagnosis I never expected! His condition requires daily medication for the rest of his life and very expensive tests 2 times a year. Our insurance coverage with Pet's Best makes it possible for him to receive these on-going treatments. Not all insurance companies will cover conditions that are ongoing like this one, much less cover a pet of Bosco's age. Buying this insurance for Bosco was one of the smartest decisions I made!

Pet's Best is true to it's name!

Our Chocolate Lab Cosmo developed an intense nausea and vomiting. She did not have an appitite, nor was she drinking any water. We had to take her to an ER vet after hours for treatment. She was not better the next day; we took her back. She was diagnosed with an inflamed pancreas. Cosmo is now recovering at home. Within one day, we got an acknowledgement email. Our claim was processed fast. Twp CSR I spoke with were sympathetic and very concerned about Cosmo's condition. We would not dream of having any other insurance company.

Thousands paid over my 7 years as a customer!

I have been a customer for 7 years now and all 3 of my pets have been covered with PetsBest. I am very grateful for all the help that I get with my pets and I recommend PetsBest to every pet owner out here in CA. They've covered thousands of dollars in claims for my little ones. Thanks so much for what you do!
