Cruciate tear claim experience

Iam so grateful to have found this insurance, it has made a great difference in my dog's quality of life and has been a relief to make an otherwise stressful time for our family much easier to deal with. We were not expecting to deal with an expensive surgery for him so soon, we had went through other costly health issues with older dogs which led to our buying insurance this time around. The claims process was easy to work with and a big help, thank you!

Highly recommend

Our pug was diagnosed with MCTs. Once we’d met the deductible Pets Best were quick to process and reimburse the claims. Cannot complain!

Highly Recommend

I switched to Pets Best about 3 years ago and one of my dogs has had the worst luck medically. They've covered IVDD surgery, hydrotherapy and laser therapy after that for healing. They've covered a misdiagnosis of a terminally ill brain disease and all the tests and specialists that came with that and now his more recent dx of cushings disease and the tests, meds and vet visits that are required monthly for that. If I didn't have the security of pet insurance, I would have had to rethink treatment many times for my boy and who knows if he'd even be alive today because of that! These guys have been amazing throughout the years and being someone who doesn't have a lot of money and not much in my savings account, I don't have to question whether or not I can treat my dog due to the security of this insurance. I HIGHLY recommend them 💞💞"
