My 7Month Old Little Puppy Was Sp...

My 7month old little puppy was spayed, she goes to a very caring, detail oriented Vet, they can be on the "pricey" end sometimes but I know Pets Best has my back when things need to be done, this is the first time I've had insurance on one of my pets and looking back I regret not having it because there were times when Vet bills really took a huge bite out of my budget, with insurance you get it back, it's awesome. I would recommend getting insurance to anyone who is considering it. In the long run it pays for itself. Pets Best is also a great choice, I've had nothing but great customer service.

Pets Best Is Great! My Poor Ruby ...

Pets Best is Great! My poor Ruby was sick for two weeks, only to find that she had cancer and I had to put her to sleep three days later. My claims were covered after numerous bills to the emergency room, plus more . I now have a puppy that is insured with Pets Best. Thanks again!

Having 4 Dogs Means Vet Visits Ar...

Having 4 dogs means vet visits are the norm. Between teeth cleanings, skin allergies, tummy troubles and heart meds, it's such a relief to know my dogs will always be cared for and money is the last thing on my mind. Pets Best allows me to focus on my dogs during accidents or illnesses, instead of worrying about my pocketbook. I always receive my claim reimbursements within a week, direct deposited into my account, and I've never been turned down for a claim. I'm a huge supporter of pet insurance in general, and tell all my rescue friends to look into Pets Best - you are without doubt the best out there!
