Pets Best Insurance

Pets Best insurance is the best and most affordable pet insurance we have used. I have 5 cats and two dogs. Sadly, it was 6 cats until this claim. Despite grieving our lost kitten, Pets Best made it easy to submit our claim and processed it quickly. The last thing we needed at this time was to fight with insurance over coverage. Thank you, Pets Best! We will continue to recommend you to our adopters from our cat rescue organization, Lucky Meows NYC!

We had an excellent claims experience

We had an excellent claims experience! My dog had pancreatitis and the little guy was so sick. I authorized the vet to do anything and everything possible to help him feel better (we were fortunate enough to be able to simply hand over our CareCredit card during our emergency vet visit and did not worry too much about cost) A few days later, after he had started to feel better, I submitted our first claim to insurance not really knowing what to expect. I was so pleasantly surprised by the coverage (500 deductible with 90% coverage) plus the fast processing time! 3 days!! When friends and family reached out to ask how my pup was doing, I was so happy to report that he got the care he needed to help him feel better within a few days and.. we have the most amazing pet insurance! I think they’re going to check out Pets Best for their pets as well 🩵 I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful experience, Pets Best! Apollo and I are truly grateful 🩵
