Efficient and compassionate

We lost our beloved Tabby on a Sunday evening after he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. We made the difficult decision to have him put to sleep. The following day I submitted a claim for Tabby's final expenses. In less than a week we had an explanation of benefits.What really touched me is that I then received a letter of condolence from Pets Best, informing me that they would take Tabby off of my policy, effective immediately. I didn't have to take care of another painful detail.

Worth Every Penny!

My 2 y/o Swissy ate some sort of plastic (new/under construction neighborhood) and couldn't stop vomiting. We had to take her to the ER for X-rays and Ultrasound. Thankfully nothing was stuck and surgery was avoided. Having the option for the insurance check to go directly to the hospital was a LIFE SAVER! I didn't have to fork over the $1500+ that night, and I only had to worry about my 10% co-pay.

skin problem

My yorkie terrier had these "warts" the goes with the breed, Had no issues with Pets Best. I called to see if it was covered and it was with my deductible in place. The turn around between claim and payment was fast. Thank you guys, in the rat race of life, i don't have to worry with questions and claims with PB. Sushi

Pets Best cares!

Pets Best cares enough to support us (the parents of the pets)to have the Vet see our pets and then we receive help in the form of a check from the Insurance Company. Our pet receives better care when we all work together for the good of our pet.
