Pets Best has been supportive through the treatment process!

Our dog, Finley, was diagnosed with an unidentifiable lameness earlier this year. Pets Best has been with us on this journey to help Finley get better and feel well along the way. They have been wonderfully supportive throughout the treatment process. They have been quick to process our claims and, if there is a question, they get back to us within a day or 2. Finley is much happier and, therefore, so are we!!!

I am so glad I got Pets Best Insurance

I am so glad I got Pets Best Insurance! I wasn't even sure getting pet insurance was a good idea when we got our puppy. I am now a believer. I have had all of my claims reviewed and paid promptly and it is so comforting to know we can get our dog the care she needs.

Pets Best is indeed the best. My new puppy broke his leg and the insurance coverage was amazaing.

I had only had my puppy for 10 before he broke his leg. Emergency Pet Hospital, 3 days and a called in vet that specializes in shattered bone repair. Puppy needed to have a plate and pins in his leg, and 1`5 sutures to close his wound He was sooooo sad and afraid. We went to see him but with all the tubes we could not hold him. The bill was over $5000.00 and I am not a wealthy person, but with Pets Best I paid just a fraction of the bill. By the way I only had this insurance less then one month. And this is the first time I ever purchased pet insurance. What a blessing. Thank you Pets Best.
