After A Very Scary Incident Of My...

After a very scary incident of my pup ingesting toxic food (toxic for dogs that is) I was in such a panicked state. A quick visit to the vet and she was all better. The ease of submitting the claim through pet's best helped to ease the overall angst of a stressful situation.

My 10 1/2-Year-Old German Shephe...

My 10 1/2-year-old German Shepherd was diagnosed with osteosarcoma on February 15, 2017 I started sending in claims and was getting notifications back in a week that they were being paid out. Having PetsBest has allowed me to help my dog fight the cancer. We amputated his front right leg and did for chemo sessions along with bloodwork and x-rays. As of June 22 he is cancer free.

It'S Always Quick And Easy To Mak...

It's always quick and easy to make a claim. I love that I don't have to do anything else and the payment shows up in my account and I receive a statement showing me how the payment was figured. Thanks!

Company has unreasonable price hikes.

I just received my Insurance renewal cost. Now that two of my Irish Wolfhounds are old enough for it to be impossible to insure else where the Pets Best company has seen fit to raise the premiums nearly 70 %, $1246.00 per year. What a way to thank customers for being loyal for all the previous years. Even the customer service rep agreed the increase was unreasonable, but would do nothing to decrease the amount. If you own a giant breed, beware of this company. Leanne Howard Aragorn Irish Wolfhounds
