Go ahead, it's worth it!

I am so happy with Pets Best insurance. I've been a member for several years now and it's been a lifesaver. It has made taking care of my sweet cats down through the years easier and a real support. Now that my old guy has multiple senior problems, Pets Best has made it possible to choose the care I want, not the care I can afford. It's easy to use. Claim submission is simple. Reimbursements are quick. Service is great. It's not cheap (thus the 9 stars instead of 10), but so worth it for the peace of mind you get knowing you have help when you need it. Yes, I recommend Pets Best to anyone who is owned by a pet.

Taking Care of Annie

My Golden Retreiver, Annie, has had an unfortunate year long struggle with double ACL injuries. Pets Best made it possible for me to afford the best care for Annie, including three big surgeries and physical therapy/rehab after. Pets Best staff, with whom I spoke on the phone were very helpful, understanding and kind. Reimbursement was made in a very timely manner. I'm grateful for that and for Annie's recovery.

My Dog Recently Had A Totally Une...

My dog recently had a totally unexpected trip to the emergency vet. I was in the middle of a move and with moving costs, housing deposits, and all of the other expenses associated with moving, I was very stressed to add another $1,500 expense to my monthly budget. Thankfully, the vets were able to take care of my pup and Pets Best gave me peace of mind in my finances. The claims process was simple and I was reimbursed in a week. I tell all of my friends that pet insurance has been well worth it--I don't ever worry about having to make difficult care decisions for my pet simply because I can't afford the best care option.
