Reimbursed quickly

Our dog needed an emergency surgery due to bloat. We filed our claims right away and we’re reimbursed in about 3-4 weeks!

Pet insurance rates

I purchased accident injury insurance for my 3 schnauzers a four years ago. The rate started at $192.08 per month for all three. In 2024 they increased the rate to $255.17. I have not had any claims in. Currently my Two of the dogs are 4 years old and the older male is now 14.They raised my rate in July to $404.58 a month, that is $4,854.96, I cancelled my policy today. I believe this is ridiculous.

Knowing that there is less financial burden because of the continued responsiveness and support we have been provided by Pets Best helps us know that they are getting the best care and that we aren't having to making difficult choices when it comes to the heath of our fluffy family members. I encourage anyone getting a pet to make sure they have pet health insurance. Pets Best has easily been the best decision we have made.

Wonderful Experience with Pets Best Insurance

My experience with Pets Best insurance has been fantastic, especially with the recent claims for my two dogs, Lola and Lux. I submitted claims for their wellness services, and the entire process was quick and easy. Pets Best made it simple to get everything done online, and I was so impressed with how fast the reimbursement came through. It's a huge relief to know that when I need them, they're on top of it, and their customer service is top-notch.
