Beware

Beware, misleading benefits! This company will apply deductible AFTER applying your percentage. This has a significant impact on expected payment especially on a accident policy. Case In point, $500 ded, 70/30 on a 800 dollar emergency. Instead of the expected 150-200 payment they paid Less than $2 dollars. This is not industry standard. Beware.! I will never deal with this company again.

Petbest is super reliable, responsive and trustworthy. I genuinely feel secure knowing I can take my pet to the vet from time to time and not have to worry about the medical bills. The premium is very reasonable

Promise Made, Promise Kept

I only had coverage for 3 months when my 4 month old puppy accidentally fractured her leg. Pets Best provided coverage and reimbursement exactly as promised for her emergency room and surgery bills. Payment was deposited into my checking account in about 10 days. Thanks Pets Best!

Recommend PetsBest to EVERYONE

I started using PetsBest because my employer offered discounts on their plans. Best decision I have ever made. I hear horror stories about other insurance companies and I'm grateful to have never had issues with PetsBest. I was actually expecting a big bill recently to be denied or only received a small portion back. I had to spend over $1000 on behavioral services after my dog was attacked and struggling to get back to normal. I got almost everything back. My dog is now on an expensive prescription to help with the reactivity and PetsBest covers all but like $10. We would not be able to afford the medication and visits without this insurance and I couldn't be more grateful. All three of my pets have coverage and I tell everyone they need to use PetsBest. PetsBest is cheaper than a lot of the insurance companies that do far leas for their customers. Appreciate you all :)
