Young dog eats everything. Ingested some rocks and had gastro distress. Submitted claim, heard that it was being processed, then within a week, final decision, explanation, and money in my account within a couple of days. Easy as 1,2, 3. Thank you!

Our dear Black Lab gave us 14 wonderful years of her life. We would have been broke if it was not for Pets Best Ins. As a young dog Maggie could get herself into a lot of trouble and Pets Best was there to helps us out and when she got older and got sick they were there to keep her going. Without the insurance I really don't know what we would have done. Maggie was a great friend and she has left a large hole in our family. Everyone should be so lucky to have a"Maggie " and Pets Best to keep her going.
