Pets Best is the BEST!

Pets Best Insurance is awesome!!! They are so quick to process your claim and get you reimbursed for you out of pocket expenses in a very timely manner. My nine year old dog, Brando, tore his ACL and had to have over $4500 in surgery and associated costs. I had the reimbursement check back from Pets Best w/in two weeks!! Even before his stitches were removed, they had sent me a check! Wonderful service.....terrific customer service....and all around awesome insurance company.

Recent Claim

The recent claim (the first I have filed) was turned around in an expedient time frame. I don't like that my dog was ill, but it was helpful to receive back a portion of the money that I spent.

Pets Best = Peace of Mind: I highly recommend

I am impressed with Pets Best quick payment and great customer service. Recently my cat Bucket got very sick. Pets Best paid the claims quickly and there were no hassles. It's very stressful when a pet gets sick. Now, I at least have the comfort of Pets Best Insurance. Now Bucket is almost as good as new and I'm recommending Pets Best to everyone I know. It really makes me feel good that there are companies like Pets Best out there. Thank Pets Best! Marla
