Great experience

The only reason I don't give them a five is because of the annual increases, and I had a doubling increase last year. Other than the increases, I've had a good experience

Allergies

My dog Montana has been diagnosed with Allergies two years ago. So every few month, when Allergy season starts, she starts biting her Paws. She gets a shot. It is so easy to file a claim. I am very satisfied with the service I receive, that's why I added my third dog to the policy. "

Easier than Insurance for People!

I've had PetsBest for all of my animals the past 20 years. They always pay what they say they will, and the turnaround time is super quick. It has always been such a great customer experience. I recommend them to all of my friends and family.

Superb coverage

PetsBest was referred to me by my podiatrist. The premiums were reasonable, but like all other companies, each year costs go up. My dog had to have 2 6 session water therapies, which was phenomenal Each 6 session costs a little over $300.00 totaling $600.00. My coverage with PetsBest reimbursed me 80% after 20% deductible. So, after deducting 130.00 I was reimbursed $500.00. Can't beat that!
