PetsBest Rocks!

Insuring my two dogs with PetsBest has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The claim process is easy, and the coverage is fantastic - from chronic ear infections to a rare neurological disease, I have needed it many a time. I recommend them to all my friends.

Cystonomy on my Zoe

My dog was recently diagnosed with bladder stones. The vet indicated surgery was necessary as medication wouldn't dissolve the stones. I called Pet's Best to speak with the vet to get a second opinion and read them the notes and test results, and they agreed this would be best for my dog. They confirmed the cost as well, as I was skeptical of the price they gave me. They were great in answering my questions and making me feel at ease with my decision. The claim process was easy as well. Although I had more claims to file, they received medical records and paid me after the deductible and co-insurance were met. I would recommend Pet's Best to my family and friends.

The worst ever

Please save yourself from this scam. They have the worst submission process possible, as well as the worst customer service possible. They make you jump and bend over backwards to even get an approval on a claim. I’ve had to send in multiple bank statements and cleared out my personal information just to prove that I had paid for a vet visit. Please do not please do not sign up for this insurance company.
