Best idea

This insurance policy was a good idea for us. We were not sure if we should get a policy when our dog was younger. But we were hearing about the costs of vet care, especially surgery and decided to get it. Pets Best has been expensive, and goes up as our dog ages. But we kept with it. Unfortunately our dog needed two major operations plus a cardiac work up. If it wasn’t for this insurance I wouldn’t even known how to pay for any of them. So I give it five stars.
