Enabled us to give our pet the best care

Peanut was in heat and had started eating smaller meals. After approximately 4-5 days, she stopped eating. She was not her usual happy self - she had become mopey and lethargic so I called the emergency vet and let them know of my concern. I had an appt with her reg. vet the next day but luckily they told me they were concerned about her glucose levels due to her not eating. After we brought her in, they determined that she had a pyometra. The surgery was a success and she has now recovered from her ordeal (minus some of her shaved fur!). Her stitches were removed two days ago. I'm so happy that we caught the problem in time - I shudder to think what might have happened if we didn't. Peanut is my precious child - thank you so much for enabling us to give her the best care possible.

Called about a claim

I called to have part of my claim submission removed since I was returning it. I called just a few hours after submitting my claim, but the claim still paid with the item I returned, resulting in another call having to be made. However, I have since submitted two small claims which should cover what I needed to pay back. I'm sure it will all work out just fine. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly my claim paid! Very impressive. Both times I have called I have been treated very nicely and in a very professional manner.

I have been so happy with Pets Best!

I have been so happy with Pets Best! Insurance tends to have a very bad rap, so I went into having this insurance with a little bit of skepticism. I had never had insurance before. The claims are easy to file, they are paid quickly, and any dealings with customer service has always been very good! I recommend Pets Best to anybody who asks me about pet insurance.
