Put your trust in Pets Best

"As a new dog owner, it took me a very long time to decide whether to buy insurance or not. It took even longer to learn about the different products and services available and which company to choose. I believe I made the right choice with Pets Best. It has been an easy process every step of the way. All claims approved to date."

Pets Best Insurance

We have many pets in our household. Two dogs, five cats, and we also have a cat rescue (Lucky Meows NYC) with about 20 - 30 fosters. We insure all our personal pets with Pets Best and have been fortunate enough to not have to use it too often, but when we have uses them, we had no issues with our claims. We recently lost a newly adopted kitten and the claim was easy despite our sadness. We always recommend Pets Best when we adopt out new kittens and cats. They are very reasonably priced compared to some of the alternatives.
