One of the best decisions I've ever made!

I lost my last dog to cancer that could of been treated...but due to the cost...the hardest decision I ever made was to put Cheech down. I swore I would never own another dog. One day about a year ago a stray puppy with the exact same coloring of Cheech ended up in my yard...then in the house...while searching for low cost pet care I ran across pet insurance. I researched all the companies and found what seemed the best..filed my first claim recently and honestly..Pets Best exceeded my expectations

The best pet insurance available.

We had our dog treated by our vet. The invoice was submitted by our vet and we had notification within 48 hours with the results of our claim. They are paying 90% after our deductible with no exceptions! Exceptional!

Good luck

I have been with your insurance company for about 7 years. I am astonished that conditions that arise with canine aging are tagged under general headings not covered by your insurance and denied.

Monthly Cost

$6 and up, depending on your chosen plan.

Coverage

Accident and Illness plans with optional reimbursement levels of 70%, 80%, or 90% after the deductible. Flat Rate Accident coverage for $9/month for dogs and $6/month for cats. (Available in most states). Two optional Wellness plans to cover routine care. 24/7 Pet Helpline, powered by whiskerDocs is included on all policies. The pay-out amount is based on your actual vet bill.

Payout Limits

$5000 -Unlimited annual limit, depending on your chosen plan. Unlimited lifetime limits.

Deductible

$50 – $1,000 annually.

Age Limits

Pet must be at least 7 weeks old to enroll. Pets Best does not restrict coverage or availability for older pets.

Waiting Period

Once met, waiting periods are waived for continuous, uninterrupted policy renewals. Pets Best offers some of the shortest waiting periods in the industry following the policy effective date.
