Love PB

I knew after my last cat who died from cancer and all those vet bills I should look into pet insurance for my next cat. Well I opted for two kittens and immediately I searched for pet insurance. I was skeptical, I admit. I found pets best and they seemed to provide more than some others like the wellness program. I signed up. A few days later I take the kittens to their first vet appointment and submit a wellness claim. That was Tuesday, it's now Friday of the same week and I already have my reimbursement in my bank! I am absolutely thrilled! Unless something drastically changes going forward, I am sold, convinced and no longer skeptical. Love pets best!

Thank you for all the work you do!

I took Spotter in because I thought he still had a splinter or foxtail in between his toes. It turned out I got the foxtail out and he had an infection. So, because I only have accidental insurance, it was not put towards my deductible, which is understood. I thank you for all the work you do ! :) He's all better!

We were so thankful for Pets Best

We took our little dog Milo in to the Vet to check out a lump on his belly. It turned out to be cancerous. He went in to surgery the next day. The procedures were costly, but we were determined to do whatever it took to save our fur baby. We submitted the claims to Pets Best via the website. They acknowledged them right away and quickly processed the payments to be deposited directly into our back account. We couldn't have been more satisfied with the process. Thankfully, our little guy came out of the surgery cancer free! Great outcomes all the way around! We were so thankful for Pets Best wonderful service. Having the insurance was so worth it for these types of circumstances.
