Kind People During a Difficult Time

Not only are these people really professional in a very appropriate way, but they allowed me to take any thought of cost out of the picture when treating a very terrible feline disease. I have recommended them to anyone who would listen!

Don't have your dog's teeth pulled

My dog had to have 4 teeth pulled because they were loose and one was decayed. This was an health issue, not a beautification issue. Pet Best did not help pay for this.

This insurance is AMAZING

I've had the insurance for four years and it is the least expensive I could find. They cover up to 80% which is a great help. The claim process is very easy to utilize and their payment response takes a week, which is fast for most insurance companies. 100% satisfied.

Excellent

Fast turn around, some companies have excuses why they don't pay this and that, not Pets Best.

Glad we have Pets Best

Pets Best has always been good about reimbursement of ordinary health/wellness expenses for our pets ie: shots and exams. But when our 3 year old Chocolate Lab swallowed a half a dollar size rock a few weeks back we were so glad we had Pets Best Insurance. Because of the size of the rock the vet removed it by Endoscopy which is very costly. Afterwards we submitted our claim for the procedure along with the exams and xrays that were needed and we just got 80% of the expenses reimbursed, over $1,400.00!
