Pets Best is best for pet parents

"It is so easy and efficient to file a claim I was able to do so before I left the vet office. This is great that I can take care of my pet and square away the paperwork quickly. Parker had his 6 months check up and as a senior boy I appreciate not having to worry about vet bills. I can keep him healthy with peace of mind."

Pets Best is fabulous

Pets Best is fabulous. They are reasonably priced and respond very quickly to my claims. I have had them now for 2 years and highly recommend them. Never go without pet insurance. It has been very helpful.

Worst insurance ever

Worst insurance ever. I have spent over $5k over the last few years. I finally used it and they denied everything. It is absolutely not worth even wasting your time reading into any other reviews. Move onto another company 100%. To trust a company and spend $5k and then not get a single dollar back when we actually use it, is bullshit.

Insurance premium went up 86% in 1 yr.

The insurance premium went up 86% in one year. That is simply an atrocity.
