I Am So Incredibly Grateful To Pe...

I am so incredibly grateful to Pets Best. I have had a very sick dog who has been struggling to get well. It is hard enough facing the possibility that you might loose your pet, but the financial burden is another component . Having this insurance has made a really difficult experience much easier. Thank You.

Dino Is Normally A High-Energy Ca...

Dino is normally a high-energy cat who is constantly getting into mischief. When I found him hiding/sleeping for hours (and actually behaving himself), I knew something was very wrong. And of course, it happened on a weekend but luckily, I could take him to a 24-hour emergency animal hospital. He has since made a full recovery (misbehaving as usual) and I'm glad he is a pet insurance purr-ticipant.

I LOVE PETSBEST!

Pets Best has been one of the better choices Ive made in my life. Unexpected medical expenses for our pets suck, no matter how prepared you might be, and knowing we can fall back on insurance is so incredibly helpful! Plus their service is super fast and easy! Thank you!!

Unfortunately Our Dog Passed Away...

Unfortunately our dog passed away. While we were grieving, it was amazing to see how well we were taken care of by the Pets Best staff. The rep on the phone took care of the claim and even back dated the policy to end on the day we filed the claim. Without worries, I received an email advising of the refund that would be taking place and that the account was closed. Bravo!! You guys made this process easy and stress free. If we decide to get another dog, I already know it will be with you all. Thank you!!
