given wrong information regarding policy coverage

Would not recommend! Asked specific questions regarding care treatment and coverage for injured puppy and was told by customer representative that is this was totally covered and no problem. Submitted the claims and was denies stating it was pre existing and not a covered procedure. I cancelled the puppy's policy as well as their litter mates polices.

BEST for sure!

By far the easiest, quickest and most convenient way to file claims. I am extremely satisfied and I will be a "forever" customer for sure! I'm also satisfied with the coverages. I can rest peacefully knowing that when and if I need to bring one of my fur babies in to the doctor, I can do without worry. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone who has pets!

Could not be more happy

My dog has a heart condition and it was realized when he was 7 months old getting neutered. He has an irregular heartbeat and medication and vet checks were required to understand the issue. I purchased Pets Best right when I purchased my puppy at 12 weeks and I could not be more happy with the result. I never wanted to say no to a procedure or a health issue and I'm so glad that Pets Best has been able to help support the health and happiness of not only my dog, but my family.
