I am so grateful to have a company like Pets Best.

My claim for diagnostics was submitted due to the testing my pet required. No treatment is currently available for my pet. Pet's Best reimbursed me quickly and easily. I am so appreciative for the professionalism of this company. This company made it possible to know what I was dealing with and how to provide my precious pet with the love and support he will continue to need at this stage of his life. Had I not have had Pets Best, I could never have the option of the testing it took to know what I should do and what direction to take.

Allowed my dog to have treatment I couldn't afford

When Saber broke his toe and later needed surgery, Pet's Best paid almost the whole bill. I had thought about dropping the insurance but now it's paid for itself many times over. I'm keeping it! You never know when something stupid and minor but expensive will happen!

Saber Broke His Toe While Play…

Saber broke his toe while playing in the yard. Because it was not healing after several months, the vet said the best treatment would be to remove the toe. She did one more x-ray before the surgery and found it was finally starting to heal and canceled the surgery. Because of the broken toe, Sabers degenerative myelopathy progressed faster without exercise because he had to rest while the toe healed. His toe is now finally healed and he is back to running again but now uses a dog wheelchair. Pet"s Best was extremely helpful in paying for his vet bills because I couldn"t have done it otherwise. Thank you."

My Cat Sophia Was Diagnosed Wi…

My cat Sophia was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few months ago. She has lost a large amount of weight and also suffers from other symptoms of this disease. The illness has required a lot of challenges, as she was not responding well to the medication, even while trying several forms such as pills, liquid and trans-dermal. Throughout all the testing and sick visits, Pets Best has been wonderful! Filling claims on-line is so simple and the response time and reimbursement, according to our chose plan, is quite fast. Sophie will need to have radio-iodine treatment, which will cure her completely and I never would have been able to keep up with the cost of her illness if it wasnt for Pets Best. I highly recommend them and I"m extremely happy that I picked them for our Sophie"s insurance! "
