Responsive claims process.

I currently have three dogs on insurance. When I submit a claim that I know will be covered I know I will hear from you soon and I appreciate that.

Greatest value ever!

Greatest value ever. I used for my anatolian Shepard and BFF Seabastian for 10 years and he had to have 2 TPLO surgeries and 4 root canals plus more over the years and Pets Best covered it. I was pleasantly surprised and saved over $10,000 over his life. Best invest meant ever! Thank you so much! John Anver Suleiman - John The Beach Realtor

Pets Best is the greatest

My husband and I have been adopting elderly Saint Bernards for over 20 years. Being elderly, they usually have illnesses that cost big bucks. As soon as we get the dogs we insure them with Pets Best. The final illness of many of our old guys has cost around $10,000. Pets Best has always treated our dogs great and they have gotten any treatment that they needed. We highly recommend Pets Best Insurance.

Terrible value for money

Terrible value for money. Basic items not covered for a heavy monthly premium. Whilst I appreciate the response it should be pointed out that for $2 more per month I got vaccinations and spaying covered, albeit I can’t claim them because of Petsbest policies. As you can see from the representatives refusal to understand the gripe, continuing to respond for responses sake this isn’t a company I would ever partner with again. $51 a month doesn’t get you coverage for a single vaccination during the life of a 6 month old puppy. Whether they believe the policy documentation to be clear or not isn’t the customer issue. The policy structure is bad value for money - that is the dissatisfaction and surprise. I really do not need another corporate defense statement so please, there is no need to defend a position I’m no interested in. I wish to warn others about my error, when paying $51 a month you do not get basic vaccination cover - they are monthly add ons. I’ve found an insurer that doesn’t do this.
