I am very happy to have my dogs insured with Pets Best.

My dog Lola had eye surgery for a mass that showed up on her left eye. She had surgery after the treatment the specialist put her didn't work. The surgery was a success and Lola's eye was saved. I submitted all the paper to Pets Best and it took longer than I expected because they request some more info from the surgeon. After a few months I received several payments including for expenses from the cardiologist that gave the ok for the surgery. I am very pleased with the outcome. the reimbursement I got was as expected. there were a few procedures not covered like dental, but I wasn't expecting this to be covered. the explanation for the deductible and percentage that was not covered was very clear. Overall I am very happy to have not only my dog Lola but also my other dog Tinylu under Pets Best insure. I will recommend this insurance with others. in fact my sister has a new puppy and she will insured that puppy with Pets Best following my recommendation.

Pets Best explanations are helpful.

I was able to understand why I was getting separate checks and not one lump sum. The explanations helped a lot.

Pets Best knows that pets are family.

I referred Pets Best to all my customers. I would like it if pets best would talk directly to the vets of clinics and hospitals to process claims directly. It would save so many more fur babies lives due to families not having the funds to pay for medical treatments before reimbursement of medical treatments. Keep up the great work. Your company realizes that our pets are family.
