Prompt review and reliable

Always prompt review and never had any problem with them doing anything different than the policy I purchased. No arguments, always understandable payment explanations.

Pet Best is the WORST

This company is a scam even my Vet agrees they are shady with their policies so I have filed a complaint with the Department of Business Regulations to have them investigated, they also raise rates consistently with no notice ever which is Illegal!

Excellent Pet Insurance

We have been very satisfied with Pets Best. This is our 2nd dog we've had on your coverage and we can't say enough good things about them. Our 1st dog was diagnosed with cancer and so we were getting him set up with treatments. But unfortunately he took a turn for the worse & we lost him. So thankful for Pets Best through this process because it was a huge financial Stretch for us. Thank you!"

Pets best is the best!

Over the past year, my experience with Pets Best has been truly outstanding. What really stands out to me is not just how professional and efficient they are, but how much easier they made things during a very stressful time. When I found out my dog had breast cancer, everything felt overwhelming. Submitting claims and understanding coverage could have added to that stress, but it didn’t. They processed my claims quickly, and I was reimbursed promptly, even directly to my CareCredit account, which made a huge difference when I needed it most. Their customer service team has been consistently kind, patient, and easy to talk to. Anytime I had questions about my coverage, what I was responsible for, or even adjustments to my plan like changing a deductible, they took the time to explain everything clearly. I never felt lost in the process. I did a lot of research before choosing pet insurance, and Pets Best truly stands out. They offer strong coverage, but more importantly, they show up for you when it matters. I’m incredibly grateful for how smooth and supportive they made this experience during such a difficult time. Thank you, Pets Best.
