My experience with Pets Best

I have had to file several claims due to allergies and normal well being care. All claims were handled quickly and efficiently, This is my 5th dog but the only one I have used insurance with. I am so glad I decided to get insurance for him. Its really nice to get some of the money back I have to spend on the vet.

vet team and insurance dream combo

We recently signed up our dog up for insurance due to rising cost of vet care. We had our dogs annual wellness exam two weeks after we signed up and were very pleased with the coverage of routine care and vaccines.

Cheaper rates but higher denials

Been with PetsBest for about 5 years now and they were good in the beginning with great premiums and approval for claims now our last few claims have been denied, our costs are skyrocketing and petsbest is becoming just another shitty insurance company more interested in quarterly profits than actually helping Americans and their pets.

An Unexpected Emergency

"My 2-year old Golden Retriever was throwing up on a Saturday morning, and I didn't worry at first. She didn't eat all day and then began throwing up again, late afternoon. My vet was closed for the weekend so I brought her to a VEG emergency room. They thankfully did not find anything critically wrong with her, but did many tests just to make sure. I was worried about the costs, but Pets Best covered almost everything, and very quickly!"
