Solid experience

Pets Best has the EASIEST claims process I’ve ever encountered. Snap a pic, upload, DONE. No dillydallying! Claim was processed in 72 hours, and out of my $192 bill, I got back $161. Extremely user friendly website, clear cut instructions, and friendly customer support will have a customer for life in me.

Peace of Mind for a First-Time Puppy Parent

As a first-time puppy parent, I can’t begin to express how grateful I am for PetsBest. From day one, they’ve been there to support both the expected and the unexpected — from routine wellness care to those surprise vet visits that no pet owner wants to face. One of the biggest stress-relievers for me has been their partnership with CareCredit. Whether it's flea, tick, and heartworm prevention or an emergency appointment, I never have to panic about how to cover the costs. PetsBest truly has my back. The claims process? Seamless. I just scan my receipts and documents in the app — it’s intuitive and fast. Reimbursement is always prompt, and I love that I have both illness and wellness coverage, which gives me full-spectrum peace of mind. If you're a new pet parent wondering whether insurance is worth it — with PetsBest, it absolutely is.
