Since getting the most coverage …

Since getting the most coverage offered, I have spent around $700 out of pocket for basic things like shots, meds for a condition etc. I have been refunded about 20%! We pay $64 a month....this is a rip off.

When My Sawyer Was Diagnosed With...

When my Sawyer was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and was to see a specialist I filed a claim with pets best. I later called and spoke with a claims specialist and she was so kind and understanding especially when I cried because I was heartbroken. She listened. She explained the entire policy to me and assured me it will be ok. I was so scared that the cost of his care would be too much and they would cancel us. It has been a little over a year, each specialist visit I receive a check 7 days later. I am so grateful for pets best without it my sweet sawyer would not be with me. I am so grateful he is still running and jumping and happy even with his heart condition! I owe it all to his vets and pets best! Thank you!!

This was just a routine checkup but I've never had an issue with the claims process. I've been using this company for 5yrs and can't say I have one bad thing to say about it or the claims process. The reimbursement is so fast. I'm happy you care about our pets as much as the owners do

Our Mister Bones Is A Very Special Boy

Our Mister Bones is a very special boy. We have been blessed with an English Mastiff who has been vexed with elbow dysplasia and the complications that can arise as a result of his shear size... (Mister Bones is 178 pounds!). Had it not been for PetsBest, I don't know that we would have been able to afford the costs of surgery and the aftercare necessary to provide Mister Bones with the best quality of life possible. PetsBest has been nothing short of awesome! Not only are the representatives knowledgeable and receptive, they communicate in a manner that is both professional and kind. The claims process is extremely quick and quite simple which makes the process so much more enjoyable. PetsBest really is the best!!
