Do not purchase

Do not purchase. They will jack up your insurance as your dog ages ..... for a 5k policy limit, they now want over $3200 for my two dogs - that's over $800 every quarter. One of my dogs has NEVER used any reimbursement in the 8 years I've paid into Pet's best and the other had a surgery 6 years ago that ran around $3500. This is an unfair company that is taking advantage of the fact that people cannot get coverage on older dogs. Shame on them!!

I Highly Recommend Pets Best Insurance!!

I enrolled my Pit, Tyson with Pet's Best a few years back and have been completely satisfied with their service and policy price and reimbursement. He was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in 2019 and I was able to give him the best care at the best facilities and not have to worry about the cost. Pets Best has reimbursed me thousands and thousands on his vet bills and has continued to offer him the same coverage year after year. He was just renewed again at 11 and still offered amazing benefits (much better than my own health insurance!) The reimbursement time does occasionally takes a little longer than 30 days, but to me that is not an issue whatsoever. Knowing my senior will always have the best care and not having to pick between draining my savings account and saving my baby is a no brainer. Pets Best Is AMAZING!
