Paw injury taken care of!

My pets paw was injured and infected requiring quite a bit of care and eventually surgery. I was able to afford his care thanks to the knowledge that Pet's Best would be reimbursing us for a percentage of the cost. My pup is now recovered and back to his happy self!

Pets Best IS The best!!!

Signup process is user-friendly, conditions, the rules are clear and explained well when they process the claim, fast claims processing. Buy the full wellness package it is worth every penny and more even for healthy dogs! I have had other pet insurance carriers who hide the whole facts about their payout policies, so always dig into the fine print if you aren’t going to use Pets Best!!

Excellent

I’m so glad to work with Pets Best Insurance. Their premiums are fair for the coverage,. My poodle has seizures and has multiple vet visits with her neurologist, regular vet (now called The Vets Mobile services),, and even random Emergency visits. Pets Best has been excellent with claim handling and reimbursements. They even help cover the multiple medications and refills for my girl. Ease of mind and comfort in knowing I’m not alone financially is a good feeling. Pets Best provides that for me. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate their services.

Excellent Insurance …

I recently said goodbye to my sweet dog, Violet, and I want to sincerely thank Pets Best for the care and support provided throughout her life. Having pet insurance gave me the peace of mind to focus on what really mattered—her well-being. Submitting claims was always simple, and the reimbursements were quick and fair. I truly appreciated the clear communication and the compassion shown, especially during her final months. Pets Best made it possible for Violet to receive the best care without added stress, and for that, I’m deeply grateful. Thank you for being there for us every step of the way.
