Jane's IMTP

We got pet insurance after our one dog was diagnosed with bladder stones. Never did we expect to be needing it for our other dog Jane. She all of a sudden had lots of bruising show up that warranted a vet visit. Her platelet count was so low it couldn't be registered. She was diagnosed with Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia. Our stomaches dropped. What do we do how do we help her. Weekly vet visits with blood draws, multiple medicines to try, ultrasounds and Multiple tests our minds were racing. Knowing that we had pet insurance helped us think of the next step. Knowing that they would help pay for an internal medicine vet to help get our baby better helped ease our minds. We are now a year and a couple months since her diagnosis and she's thriving. She is only on one medicine to keep her imtp under control. And finally has been upgraded to vet visits every three months!

Barron's Dad

"Somehow my dog got into poison or toxin and became very sick. The vet performed lab work and a regiment of liver recover vitamins and other prescription meds with follow up exam and labs. He is healthy and happy again. Pets Best covered almost everything after the deductible was met. The process was very easy, fast and simple, in my opinion. The refund went directly into my bank account. I recommend Pests Best to everyone. Thank you so much. Barron's dad. "

Claims Process

It is so easy to file a claim online and the next thing you know is that you are getting reimbursed by direct deposit. I would highly recommend that you get pet insurance for your family member. New or existing pet owners. Accidents and illnesses can occur at any time.

Denied my claim

I am contemplating moving my policies if all 3 of y dogs as y golden retrievers claim was denied due to them saying it’s routine care. This is a chronic problem my vet and I are trying to remedy. It is not routine care. And they they said the medication is not on their “list” so at this point everything has been denied including the testing. No point in having it if they deny everything. So disappointed
