My dog Maci had a few lumps that the vet was not sure about. so, we had them removed and tested, thankfully they were not cancerous. and Pests Best paid my claim in less that 2 weeks, thanks.

Each Time I Get Cardiac Meds

Each time I get cardiac meds, I fill out the very brief form online. Then I can forget about it. The process continues smoothly every time and before long I have my check! The meds are expensive so this is almost literally a life saver for my best friend.

We have always had a good experience with Pets Best Insurance. They have explained their different plans to me so we can make the right choice. They are very courteous and efficient at their local office. I would definitely recommend them.

This Spring My Kitty Scarlett Wen...

This Spring my kitty Scarlett went to the "Rainbow Bridge" . I was heartbroken. when I had to make the call to Pets Best I was so touched by the level of concern and compassion that I received from the customer service staff. Each time I had to contact Pets Best for information I felt that everyone I talked to had the same respect for my situation . I will tell you that 6 months prior my father passed, and I did not get the same level of service. I took out my first policy about 16 years ago for my first rescue kitty, and then again with Scarlett. I will do so when we invite another heartbeat into our home. The small amount of premium on a policy provides such a relief to know that should anything happen, money will not drive a difficult decision. I do not understand why more pet owners do not use this product. Thank you to all for your heartfelt comments and service.
