Covered Hip Displaysia in my Golden

We've had Pets Best insurance for 3 years on our little Golden, Graham. Graham developed hip displaysia when he was about 2 and a half and I don't know what we would have done without Pets Best. Treatment was $980 per hip and both of Graham's hips were affected--our total bill was $2,300!! We filed the claim the day after the surgery and were PAID TWO DAYS LATER. The reimbursement was direct deposited directly into our account! Honestly, Pets Best couldn't be truer to name. They are HANDS DOWN the best.

I tell every dog owner I see about Pets Best.

In 2010 my then 10 YO GSD Raven had cruxiate ligament surgery on her left hind leg. In 2011 she had cruxiate ligament surgery on her right hind leg with complications that paralyzed her left hind. She had no hind leg to stand on. She had a MRI and water treadmill therapy. In 2012, she had a toe amputated due to infection. Pets Best paid their portion of the $16,000 bill as promised. I tell complete strangers about them.

Excellent Service

It's been almost a year that my cat, Oreo, has been enrolled. I am extremely happy with your service including customer service, and I highly recommend you.

Offers 100% reimbursement of vet bill!

These guys are the only ones I could find that offer 100% reimbursement of your vet bill! We recently had to bring our little Dinger in for a severely broken ankle. Poor boy thought he could jump down a full fliht of stairs! He's not a young pup anymore. Anyway, $1,340 dollars later, Dinger was on the mend and so was our wallet! After our deductible, Pets Best covered 100% of the vet bill. Fast claims payment (2 days!!), best customer service, and best decision we've made as pet parents.

Simply the BEST... and FAST too!

After adopting our little stray kitty, Juicebox, (who we think is about 7 years old) we signed him up with Pets Best after visiting this website. About two months later, JB came down with an infection after canoodling with a neighbor cat that was mangy! $350 later, Pets Best reimbursed us 90% and we got our claim check from them TWO days after submitting the claim. These guys are amazing!!
