So far so good and no complaints

We've had 90% positive experiences in telephone communication. Out of say 20 calls from when we were signing up and had questions and through a few claims that we submitted we've only had one negative communication with them. But I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs to ensure their pets. We will have our renewal come May and we will see what the increase will be. But so far we have no complaints

Itchy Dog

Our boxer boy has severe allergies. He eats prescription food, takes a daily immuno serum for his allergies and he get a monthly cytopoint shot to help with his itching. Fortunately he is a better position than when this all started. When ever a claim is submitted Pet's Best is always quick to process and reimburse. I have had Pet's Best since he was a puppy. Our boy is now 4 years old! I am thankful everyday that we chose Pet's Best! I highly recommend them!

Best Pet Insurer

I've been insured by PB for over 3 years and have found their pricing to be very reasonable and most importantly, servicing on claims to be fast and exceptional. Like all pet insurance, you get what you pay for as I go for max coverage with minimal co-pays.

Good but could be better

I switched to Pets Best due to cost and more coverage. However, they take forever to process claims. I started in December 2025 and already had to call multiple times. The main customer service only gives scripted responses. I had to speak with supervisors just to get clear answers. Their website is clunky and not customer-friendly. I consistently get errors when trying to upload simple PDF files from my vet for my claims.
