Pet's Best is a life saver!

I have been a customer for years. First, with my girl Lexi who had Pet's Best for the latter years of her life. Pet's Best was always so impressive with her claims. Quick reimbursements and easy-to-understand benefits. When Lexi passed, the representative was so kind throughout the process. I now have Pet's Best with Wesley and he just had a very expensive weekend emergency procedure. We fortunately caught it early (partial blockage due to kidney stone), and while we would have done whatever it took to ensure he was OK, knowing that we had Pet's Best made the decision that much easier. The reimbursement was sent less than a week after filing and, once again, everything made sense under his benefits. Insurance typically is over-complicated but not Pet's Best. I always know what I am getting and what to expect. I recommend them to everyone I know. Insurance is something you never want to have to use but, believe me, you eventually will need it and having Pet's Best in your corner can help take one stressful thing off your plate during an already stressful situation. Thank you, Pet's Best!

My Dog, Gracie Had A Very Seve…

My dog, Gracie had a very severe bladder infection that resulted in a trip to an emergency 24/7 veterinary clinic (of course these sort of things dont happen during regular business hours). They started her on medication only to contact me a few days later that her culture results showed the presence of e-coli and she would have to be switched to another antibiotic. She was on that for a couple of days and unfortunately suffered side effects from the new antibiotic resulting in another trip to her regular vet who prescribed different medication. Through it all her PetsBest insurance processed her claims efficiently. So great to not to have to worry about anything other than getting Gracie the care that she needed. "
