"I had no idea if I would ever need to use this insurance and dreaded the thought of it. However when my dog started having problems we knew we had to have them addressed. After filing our first claim, I realized that this is exactly what we've been paying for and am very thankful each time we get a reimbursement to help with the unexpected costs that come with pet ownership.

Tearing up when seeing such a prompt claiming assistance

My cat is currently undergoing lymphoma treatment, and he is absolutely my everything. Going through this is not only incredibly expensive, but it is also completely heartbreaking. I can barely hold back my tears every time we have to see the doctor. During this painful time, the only real support I have found is from my friends and from my insurance, Pets Best. I am eternally grateful to you guys. I could never have imagined feeling so supported, and because of your help, I am truly looking forward to my pet's recovery. Thank you for being the best, from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely, Kate and the meow of her life, Milo ❤️🐾

Hershey owes his life to Pets Best!

Hershey is my precious Emotional support Cockapoo and I just couldn't imagine him being gone at only 6! Luckily we had Pets Best insurance and we were able to get the best care possible for a tumor pressing on his vena cava and probably Cancer 😭 but, Dr Fontes @ OSU was able to remove it and it wasn't cancer, our baby came home and is doing well, Thanks To having pet insurance, you know she never know, grateful for sure!
