We love pets best

After 20 plus years of owning dogs we only had one or two issues. We decided it is time to be protected after 2 years our 3 year old mix breed was diagnosed with lymphoma we are able to do treatments since we have insurance. They have been super quick on claims and answering our questions. We also love their 24hr help line and have used it multiple times when we are debating on going to the ER or not. We will never not have insurance and I am recommending pets best to everyone i know

Great service

Pets Best was easy to sign up for, and they made it easy to submit a claim. I appreciated the no-fuss transparency - there were no hidden surprises and everything was concluded within the expected timeframe. When my pet passed away after an illness and I submitted the invoice, they covered the treatment costs at the policy rate, and automatically cancelled my plan and refunded me my pro-rated monthly fees without being asked. I plan on using them again if we adopt another pet in future, and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable coverage.

Pets Best is the best

"My sweet boy, Cooper has been a train wreck from seizures to Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia, PSOM and now horrible skin issues and antibiotic resistant Staph Infection. He's had multiple MRIs, 2 major surgeries on his brain along with many other tests. I can't thank you enough for helping me cover all these expenses in trying to make my boy better.

Breathing easier

Pets Best allowed us to get the necessary test done for our boy. Due to his age and having his first seizure at 7.5 years of age it was assumed he had a brain tumor. After his MRI and blood work we found that he doesn't have a tumor or underlying infection and are very grateful to the doctors and Pets Best.
