We purchased insurance for each of our two dogs when they were puppies. We have never had any issue with reimbursement when they were sick or hurt. Recently, my 10 month old puppy was attacked by another dog. She almost died and had to have intensive surgery. This experience was traumatic and extremely stressful, but it was nice not having to worry about the financial implications. Pet's Best reimbursed us 90% with no questions asked, and within a couple of weeks. I'm so grateful.

Thank You!

"I absolutely love Pets Best! Customer service is always helpful and kind and well informed. My dog (Benny) tore both ACLs in less than a year and both were paid for with no problems. Just recently, Benny wouldn't eat and something was clearly wrong. I rushed him to the vet and how I was going to pay for his treatment wasn't something I had to worry about and that meant everything to me. It turns out he most likely had giardia, and he's now fine, but it could have been much worse and I know Pets Best would have been there for me. I know I can provide Benny with the best care possible. Thank you for that peace of mind!"
