Keep Looking "Pets Best" is not the Best

I have had the same insurance for my wonderful dog for his whole life. "Pets Best" insurance leaves a lot to be desired, the application does not work at it should and you will need to use the website for any clams. The option to contact the company by phone means waiting for hours with no response. I have a healthy dog but even the yearly appointments are not fully covered. Keep looking you can find better the "Pets Best."

Great customer service and fast response

I’ve had a great experience with PetsBest Insurance. They respond to questions quickly and have excellent customer service. Every time I’ve had questions, they’ve been more than willing to explain all the details. Most importantly, their claim process is fast and efficient. Highly recommend!
