Sudden Epilepsy in our Husky

Out of no where our sweet boy had a seizure. We took him to the vet and they were able to give him temporary medicine. A few weeks later he had 6 seizures total and we had to take him into MedVet. We knew this would be an expensive process and we would not be able to keep up with these expenses without Pets Best. Our boy is doing well now and we get to tell everyone at the park how much he has benefited from having insurance. We will insurance our dogs for the rest of our lives!!!

Pets Best is the Best!

We have had Pets Best since my delightful, but spoiled dog was in our possession at 10 weeks old I believe. Everything has been smooth, when claims were denied, it was clear as to why, I am happy with this Pet insurance. Pricing has increased as he's gotten older, disappointing as we've had very few claims. Other than how much price has been escalating each year, I am very pleased with Pets Best.

Actually the best.

We became a Pets Best customer several years ago, mostly because the policy was affordable and it was good to feel like we could get some support if - or when - anything went wrong with one of our pets. We never imagined that our beloved dog Maggie would be diagnosed with bladder cancer, and she began a very long battle with it. The treatments were incredibly expensive, but she seemed to be responding well to them and we got many, many more beautiful months with her as a result. Pets Best was there the whole time - we'd make a claim for a chemo appointment, which was a simple form with the receipt attached, and before long, we'd get a confirmation that the claim was being processed, and then the money would show up in our bank. No arguments, no requests for onerous information or documents. This literally enabled us to say goodbye to our sweet girl in the gentlest way. That's priceless. Thank you.
