We are happy with our decision to go with Pets Best. I asked my friends, googled pet insurance & even looked st another insurance through our vet. We made the right decision signing up our boy with pets best. We have no complaints so far. The claims are easy to file, they pay promptly & fairly, so far!

The best insurance I could have chosen for my furry baby.

I file my first claim within 2 weeks of signing up my puppy to this insurance. Filing the claim was very easy and I received 90% of what I paid within 2 days. I feel at ease knowing that my baby is covered.

Very Pleased with Pet's Best Pet Insurance

I have been a customer of Pet's Best for several years now and have been very pleased with the service they provide me for my two cats. While I do my best to keep my cats in healthy form, there are times when they may still become sick. We all know what a visit to the vet can cost. Pet's Best covered everything they said they would. Their policy is written in clear language and their customer service department (if you even need to call them) is exemplary. I have recommended Pets Best to several friends because of my great experience.

Has Paid for Itself in 10 months, Easy, Transparent Process

Pet's Best Insurance has so far been everything it claimed to be: 1) they have paid for all of our claims thatt our policy indicated they would (we had to reach our deductible and get out of relatively short waiting periods first). 2) After that they have paid 90% of everything we submitted, even when the most costly treatment was due to the dog eating something he shouldn't have (I was really afraid of them denying a claim if they thought the situation could have been prevented with more supervision or something like that). 3) The claims process was really easy - I submit a picture of the itemized invoice and a very brief description and basically within a week I'd get an email with an Explanation and soon thereafter a direct deposit into my bank account. Having Pet's Best has brought so much peace of mind knowing that after a certain point our boy's expenses are going to be covered and I don't have to ask myself whether it's worth going to the vet or not. We can just go without fear of the costs.
