Rates Doubled at Renewal

Coverage was affordable for a fairly decent plan, but once the one year policy auto renewed it literally DOUBLED in price. This is obviously a power move for them, because if you switch insurances any previous ailments are not longer covered by new insurance due to be pre-existing. I would look into another company for Pet Insurance and get data about their average annual rate increases.

Emergency Vet Visit

Our 3 year cat had to be taken to the emergency vet. She wasn't using the litter box, eating, or drinking. Our regular vet was closed for the night and we felt like we had no choice but to take her to the emergency vet. We spent 6 hours there waiting for the results, worrying about every little thing that could be wrong. But, honestly, I never worried about the cost, I knew we picked a good plan through Pets Best. In the end our kitten was taken care of wonderfully by the vets' staff (back to normal after fluids and pain meds), and we were taken care of by Pets Best.

Pets Best - fast, friendly, thorough

Pets Best - they are fast, friendly, and thorough. We did a lot of research when trying to figure out who we wanted to use for our pet insurance, and I am so glad that we picked Pets Best. They always explain what my claim submission results are, regardless of the outcome. Preventative care, emergency care, and those random, pop up illnesses - they carefully consider it all from your invoices.

Pet's Best Continues to Impress

"Our dog Hamilton has had a host of health issues over the years, but Pet's Best has been there through them all, and the financial assistance means we didn't need to make tough decisions about his care - one less thing to worry about. His recent claim for a trip to the Emergency Room was processed quickly and completely in accordance with my policy. No surprises. Thank you, Pet's Best for your continued support of our senior dog! Every Vet we've been to recommends Pet Insurance, and I do too."
