They've Never Let Me Down

I've been a member for a number of years. I got PetsBest on the recommendation of a friend's sister who is a dermatologist vet who I was considering taking my cat to when she had some skin issues. She recommended PetsBest because of their coverage for specialists. I ended up participating in a trial with her so didn't use PetsBest with her but it has definitely paid off over the years as my cats have gotten older and suffered various (expensive) illnesses such as triaditis (inflamed liver, bowel and pancreas), skin cancer, various UTIs and thyroid issues (including quite a few trips to the emergency vet). Each time PetsBest has paid the maximum 80% and clearly explained the costs including the deductable, which is per issue so if there are multiple claims for the same thing, you aren't paying the deductable each time. When I've had to call they've been helpful and courteous and genuinely seem to care about making sure I have the right plan and all the information I need. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good pet insurance policy.

Quick & accurate claim processing!

I was pleased to see that Pet's Best lived up to it's promise to process claims quickly. We received a check for the expected amount within two weeks of faxing the claim. Our insurance made it easier to decide to proceed with testing when Cassi developed a high fever.

Very Glad I had this policy

I have 2 dogs, one only eats her food, the other eats anything that will fit in her mouth. The first time she needed surgery to clean out her digestive track, we had no Insurance and it cost us 1200.00, after that I was not taking any chances and did some research and found Pets Best and signed them both up. Well she messed up her stomach again, but this time she did not need surgery, but her vet bill was 822.00 and I was more than happy to pay 144.40 and not the total bill. I will never have any of my animals uninsured again. Pets best turn around time is great and now that you can do it on line makes your check arrive even faster. I have recommended Pets Best to many of my friends, this ins. is affordable and pays for itself if you have one sickness or accident, I looked at many different policies and Pets Best gave you more bang for your buck.

Pets Best stands alone in pet insurance.

My dog Charlie, recently suffered a severe, costly battle with adrenal cancer. Pets Best could not have been more pleasant to deal with, and handily the claim promptly. I would recommend Pets Best to any pet owner seeking insurance.
