Great Pet Insurance!

Pets Best has really helped us out with our Lab and has been one of the best things we could have done for him! They are very responsive and delivery on their timelines that are predicted. If there is an issue, they reach out to you and explain items instead of just denying them with no explanation. The terms are clearly spelled out so you know what you are getting and paying for. Thanks!

Excellent customer service, ease of submitting a claim and quick turnaround of payment.

My dog has been covered by Pets Best since I rescued him at 11 months old. He's now 7 and has had many health issues. Because of Pets Best I've been able to get him treatment from specialists that I would have struggled to afford without the insurance. Filing a claim is very easy and the reimbursement is usually in my checking account within days of filing. If there's ever a holdup, I've always been informed via email. I highly recommend them.

Couldn't be happier

Pets Best has been amazing. In my puppy's 1st year - we had FOUR claims, but every one was paid out exactly as they promised. I'd heard horror stories of people having problems with other pet insurance, so I was honestly skeptical - but I figured I'd give it a try and I'm super happy. Just renewed for my pup's 2nd year and the cost didn't even increase. Thanks for giving me peace of mind. And here's hoping year 2 will have fewer incidents then his 1st!
