Absolutely the WORST service I have…

Absolutely the WORST service I have ever received since starting with your company. Normally processed within 5-7 days this time submitted September 16 and not processed until Oct 9 with no emails explaining what was taking so long. I chatted online with Customer Service who said being processed! Unhappy for the price I pay you each month and especially after you DOUBLED the premium after my dog was sick.

Easy and gives me peace of mind

Have had some medical issues with our dog the past few years! Wish I would've had this insurance sooner ! So easy to use and well worth the investment

Reimbursed quickly

Peyton started having seizures when she was barely a year old. I was totally freaked out by the seizures and how much it was going to cost. I was so relieved to find out Pet's Best would cover a good portion of the bill. It alleviated a lot of stress and I could focus on Peyton. She's had several episodes since and each time I was reimbursed quickly. Thanks!

Best Insurance company

I have had many dogs through my life, and I have tried a few different insurance companies. By far you guys have been the easiest to use, the quickest turnaround, and overall a great service. I'm in the process of getting another puppy, and I will be using you! Thank you for providing a great service and I will continue to send referrals!
