Pets Best reimbursed for two surgeries

Our six year old dog tore his ACL and MCL in one leg and two months later tore the other leg. A friend’s dog had same surgery with insurance from another provider and they were denied coverage. Pets Best reimbursed us for both surgeries. We were so very happy. That was the first time we had used the insurance and well with the six years of being a member.

Quick turn around

All my claims I have made were easy and the turn around time letting me know my claim had been received and the decision was quick. I wasn't sure what medical problems Shayla would have because she is a rescue and you never know when you don't have records of the dog. With Pet Best, I am confident they will be by Shayla's side all the way no matter how big or small her medical problems might be. When I have called a representative, they have been very courteous and very helpful.

Excellent company!

I signed up for Pets Best the day I brought home my rescue cat. I was told he was ten years old but they had no medical history other than he was neutered. I am so glad I signed up. Turns out he has chronic bacterial problems with his kidneys, liver and urinary tract. He's eleven now and although we are at the vet several times a year he is doing quite well (love him dearly) and my pocket book isn't overwhelmed with the expense. I would recommend Pets Best to everyone. Excellent company!
