I have had Pets Best for about 3 years

I have had Pets Best for about 3 years. My cat developed lymphoma close to 2 years ago. I would be in serious financial trouble if I did not have Pets Best. Just to get her diagnosis was 3k. They cover her vet appointments and medication. Their reimbursements are deposited into my bank account before I have my cat's lab results. Amazing service provided by a truly caring company.

Pets Best has made it possible for me to make health decisions for my dog about him, rather than about my finances.

Pets best has done an excellent job with customer service, helping me understand my benefits, and processing my claims. As my dog ages and is experiencing new health issues, they are always available to answer questions and to help with my claims. The app makes it very easy to submit claims and I definitely feel like my investment in insurance is paying dividends as my dog ages.
