Pets Best Earns The Name

"Within the last two months we have recovered a very distressing diagnosis for our 9 year old Laborer Sofie. Pets Best had been amazing from the first claim through our current status of ongoing chemotherapy treatments. I can't say enough about how grateful we are for the compassion and consideration with our claims. I recommend this company to everyone who has a pet. It is worth the investment! "

Pets Best covered $120/$185 for my pups initial exam and bloodwork for a dental cleaning under her add on best wellness package. Highly recommend adding that on to your best benefit plan.

PetsBest Pet Insurance

We are so happy we have chosen PetsBest Pet Insurance. Our Frenchie was very healthy only needed Wellness checks. Until she became paralyzed in both back legs. We had to have emergency surgery on her back, it was Christmas Eve. We were informed that our precious dog had IVDD. PetsBest reimbursed us 80% of what we paid for emergency surgery and all the care she still needs. We are so grateful we got the Insurance even though we had a healthy happy puppy.

Easy claims processing

I have had a great experience using the wellness portion of our plan. We always do our dogs annual visit and get a portion of it reimbursed and our overall insurance premium is less than it was with our previous insurance. They pay the claim within a couple of weeks of receipt.
