Pets Best is simply the Best

Our Italian Greyhound is extremely petite (7 lbs) and has gone through quite a tough year with double breaks. Pets best really cares about helping take care of animals. They don't claim to cover injuries and then somehow not cover them. I am amazed at how quickly they respond to your claims and process them. They make every attempt to help to make a difficult time easier, the claim form is very easy to fill out, and if you need to contact them they are always there for you to assist in anyway possible. I searched around for insurance and Pets Best is absolutely the best if you own an Italian Greyhound. They do not exclude you just because this breed is fragile. I love Pets Best and owe my dogs recovery to not just Katonah Bedford Veterinary Center, Dr. Hart and his wonderful staff but also Pets Best for helping to make his surgery possible. I will never be without Pets Best or Dr. Hart and his crew.

Thank Goodnes for Pets Best

Our dog Bella was attacked by a neighbor's dog and we took her to the emergency vet where she had surgery and drain tubes put in. She healed quickly and is healthy again. Knowing we had the pet insurance gave us peace of mind.

Quick service of claim

Chiquita became very ill from eating coins. She needed a blood transfusion before her operation. The people at Pets Best were so kind when I called and their handling of the claim was very prompt. I recommend them to anyone looking for pet insurance.

Economical coverage for my cat

I have a 15 year old cat that has chronic kidney failure. I filed a claim for more than $1,000 and they paid the claim within one week. They paid 80% after the deductible and paid in accordance with the contract. I am very happy with the timeliness and professionalism of Pets Best Insurance. Also, the premium was very reasonable.
