Pre-approval

Getting a pre approval for surgery was very helpful.

Speedy

Had my 8 month old shihtzu spayed, blood work done and puppy tooth removed while she was under anesthesia. I bought pets best insurance as I am totally union. Pets best paid for most of her vet bill and that was like a reimbursement of half the insurance. Bella is a very active little shihtzu and I'm so very happy to have her covered by pets best. I compared different pet insurances and pets best is the best choice. Sending in the bills and reimbursement was simple and speedy. Keep up the great work.

Little Furry Guys

My poor little boy, passed from leukemia. Pets Best, has been sympathetic, and more than fair with my claim. I would recommend this company to anyone who has a little furry one.

There for us

Sparrow, our dog was thrown from the car during a rollover accident where everyone suffered injuries. Sparrow had a crushed hind leg and the options were surgery or amputation. Fortunately we had Pets Best who stood behind their policy and helped with both the initial surgery as well as follow up treatments. Now, 5 months later Sparrow is almost his old self - supporting our son as an emotional support dog and as a playful pup when he is "off duty". Throughout the recovery Pets Best provided prompt service with emails updating us on the status of the claims. I recommend Pets Best to everyone who has a pet that is an important family member - thank you for being there for us.
