I always recommend PetsBest

I've lost 3 German Shepherds in the last 4 years, the heartbreak never leaves me, but having their extensive medical bills covered by insurance helps. It's so much easier to rush them to CSU 3 hours away for the best care possible knowing that I have insurance. I would hate to not be able to offer them the best care possible simply because I couldn't afford it. I recommend PetsBest to all my pet loving friends and family.

Amazingly fast and efficient

Excellent coverage and quick turn around time. My 1 y/o Siberian Husky developed cataracts that were operable. The surgery was a success and I was glad to be covered because it made a stressful situation easier to deal with.

Best Pet Insurance Company

We have two policies for our Papillions. Over the past 7 years we have submitted numerous claims and relied on our policies to reimburse us for covered illnesses and injuries. We selected the $250 deductible w/90% coverage. Pets Best has always reimbursed us within 7 days. Last week we were reimbursed $4400 for a claim related to our dog's back surgery. There were no questions asked, no complicated forms to fill out; we simply submitted a claim, uploaded the bills, and awaited reimbursement. Six days later, we were compensated. If you are considering pet insurance, I assure you that you will find peace of mind with Pets Best.

LOVE Pets Best Insurance!!!

I am so grateful to insure my pet with Pets Best Insurance. The filing of claims is simple; their acknowledgement is immediate; their response to a final disbursement is explained in detail; the staff with whom I had contacted is courteous and helpful, and finally, their reimbursement is assured.

Best Pet Insurance Ever!

Our cat, Pumpkin, incurred a bite wound from an unknown animal and suffered an abscess as a result. He had to have drainage tubes, antibiotics, etc., and our bill from the vet was close to $1000. We submitted our claim to Pet's Best, and within just a few days, we were reimbursed the amount on our policy! They made it easy to submit the paperwork (everything was done online), and even directly deposited the amount into our bank account. Our family's financial burden was greatly reduced thanks to this wonderful company! Thank you, Pet's Best!
