I have four dogs insured with Pets Best. They are all older and two of them have continuing medical issues. I have always been pleased with the claims process and appreciate the help financially so I can give my dogs the best care I can.

Thank You So Much For Helping …

Thank you so much for helping us out! We were at our wits end when poor Maggie developed a staph infection and the group of vets we went to see could not get it under control. The vet bills were mounting and they came back with a quote of over $900 to just biopsy it on top of the hundreds we had already paid. We had to get a second opinion which required surgery at Christmas which is not a time you need extra bills. We were able to remove her infected cyst which was the size of a golf ball! She has been undergoing care to treat the remaining infection in her and is finally starting to heal. She did have 4 more small cysts pop up but they are all healing and shrinking in size - 3 are almost gone! I am hopeful we will not have to surgically remove these as well. Thank goodness for Pets Best because I don"t know what we were going to do."

Fast claims processing

With all the worry I was having over the health of my dog Buddy I am so glad I that I didn't have to worry about where the money would come from to pay for his vet care. Having this insurance gave me such a piece of mind especially when it came down to the day Buddy couldn't breathe, I didn't have to debate about cost or worry if this was the end of days for my very close companion- I have been at the vets and had to watch family's go through that and it's horrible and I have had to do that with other smaller animals that I have had but now that this has been my first dog that has been all mine I will never have another dog without insurance- thanks pets best!!!
