Great service. Great comfort.

I have been a lifelong dog owner and have never had pet insurance. This Spring we lost our Irish Wolfhound with an unexpected medical crisis that was heartbreaking and made ever more stressful by the thousands of dollars of ER care in that 24 hour period. That experience prompted me to purchase pet insurance for our Yorkshire Terrier. He has always been very healthy but I used the preventive benefit for his annual check up and also purchased the teeth cleaning plan. Very easy to submit claims and receive reimbursement. This Fall he suddenly had a very serious gastrointestinal issue prompting ER services at our University veterinary clinic. (At one point we were certain we would lose him too... but they were able to figure it out and now he is back 100%!) Several claims submitted related to this illness and all processed and paid according to our benefit plan. I don't look forward to needing these types of services.... but it is a great relief to have reliable insurance coverage should they arise. Thank you Pets Best!

Thank you

Thank you so much for your care and service. This was our first experience with filing a claim, and unfortunately, it was when our pup passes away. The process was very easy and communication was also very easy. What impressed me the most was after the claim was processed, two months of coverage cost was also credited. This demonstrates the ethics of this company and concern for the customer. Thank you.
