Felix (and adopted parents) is a Fan of Pets Best

"It has been our pleasure to work with Pets Best for the past year on behalf of our Biewer Terrier, Felix, (now 15 months old). We signed on through our membership in the Military Officers of America Association. Felix has had some food allergy and GI inflammatory problems since last Fall and has had to be seen both by our regular veterinarian and some emergency veterinarians as well. We have submitted the respective claims to Pets Best and have been satisfied with the resultant decisions. Thank you, Pets Best !"

My cats r like my kids so when my workplace offered pet insurance I jumped on it!! It is a little pricey but worth it. I issued my claim and they got back to me with my payment within a week

I’m very disappointed in PetsBest

I’m very disappointed in PetsBest. I’ve been a loyal customer that insures 3 dogs and a cat with them for many years, and they denied a claim -a big one of course-$3,500!- that I spent on my 11 year old dog that had an extremely bad infection in her mouth and needed teeth pulled. My vet backed me up with the call he made - and because my regular dental care that I pay for fully was 14 months prior, and not 13 mos. I ate the whole bill! I even called them before bringing them in for what was privy’s broken tooth that needed to be pulled and they assured me it would be covered. It wasn’t. I’m very angry with them, and I’ve sent them many new customers over the years. No loyalty to customers here, and I’m looking for a new insurance company that appreciates their customers.
