Grateful!!!

"I am so happy I have Pets Best Insurance! My dog has had several issues come up as she ages. Without Pets Best I would not have been able to give her the proper surgeries. She is 14 and is doing fantastic! Thank you Pets Best for being there so we can continue to give our Jenni the best life. "

Giving Ella an amazing opportunity to continue life as a tripod

I was about to cancel this insurance as my Ella, an English mastiff, was healthy however through divine intervention, I kept it. A couple of months later, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of R back knee in June and now she is a happy very functional tripod. Pets Best has been amazing with reimbursements and allowing Ella to get the treatment that she needs to keep osteosarcoma at bay.

My premiums have risen 50% year over…

My premiums have risen 50% year over year. They say it is only based on age and zip code. When I experimented and set up a new policy under a different name, it was 1/4the the cost of my equivalent policy which I've had for 4 years. Something is fishy here.
