Pets Best rocks!!

Thankfully, I have only had to use my Pets Best Insurance policy on two occasions. However, both experiences have been an excellent experience. Claims are handled quickly and there have never been any surprises of things not being covered. I highly recommend!

So glad I have Pet's Best

Buddy is a 16.5 year old Border Collie and thanks to the help of Pet's Best, I have been able to treat his arthritis and degeneration. This keeps him mobile and gives us both a better quality of life.

Great experience, no problems.

My dog was ill for days vomiting and generally distressed. The bland diet was not helping. Before medicating her she was given X-rays to eliminate an obstruction. No obstruction and antibiotics followed and continued with the bland diet.Pets Best took care of the claim immediately. They communicated immediately and when there was a lack of claim information they let me know. There was no waiting or hassles. I recommend them highly.

Great Coverage!

So glad we have a policy in place for our Chocolate Lab Guinness. He's still a pup (1.5 yrs) and is really good and gobbling down things he shouldn't. He recently swallowed a 4 inch piece of bully stick and vomitted it out later but it left him with continued vomitting and choking. We took him to the vet to verify he had no other obstructions or damage to his digestive track. Pet's Best covered us within days of our claim!

First beer bill submitted, first bill paid.

No complaints so far. My Vizsla had a bump on his back removed and Pets Vest covered as expected. The only reason I've given an 8 instead of 10 is because they raised my rate $25 after first year.
