Had A Long Night At The 24Hr V…

had a long night at the 24hr vet with my dog after she injested something she should not have. I had a bill much larger than I had expected. I filed my claim with Pets Best and recieved a very fair and reasonable repayment very quickly. Would recommend Pets Best to anyone!

Claim Was Filed For A Dog Spay…

Claim was filed for a dog spay. Receipt also included a micro-chip implant that I initially forgot to claim. Before I had the chance to file another claim, however, Pets Best had already identified the micro-chip implant on the receipt and paid out the claim. Great job! Thank you!

I had insurance for my previous pup …

I had insurance for my previous pup with one of the major companies. I paid faithfully for over 6 years. When he got sick, and had to be put to sleep, that company paid very little of the bill. Since receiving my new pup, I checked into all the other health insurance plans, and found that Pets Best was the one I would go with. I thankfully chose the right insurance company this time. My new pup became ill, First vomiting, then bleeding. After visiting the emergency vet hospital, and 2300 dollars later, PetsBest paid almost the entire bill. I am a new client to this company, I pay less per month with this company and they cover more

Pets Best is the BEST

Pets Best is the BEST! Our 9 1/2 yr.girl has recently come up with high liver and pancreatic numbers. Although ultrasounds and blood work have not been able to diagnose what's going on (including Cushings Disease) they processed my claim in less than a week and payment direct deposited to my bank account. They have been covering her since she was a puppy and have never refused to pay for what is covered under my policy and have done it professionally and quickly. Would never consider any other company. My sister immediately called them when she got a dog.
