Thanks for providing the best!

I wanted to thank Pets Best for all the help with our claims for Kato. I never thought one of my boys would become this ill. With all the stress and worry, it's nice to know filing claims has been so easy and reimbursements have come quickly. Our boy would have had to be put down if it hadn't been for the financial help that having great pet insurance (Pets Best) has provided.

Claim filing is fast and easy

Filing a claim took me less than 5 minutes. The form is short and simple. The benefit statements sent to me afterward were easy to understand and reimbursement was prompt.

Exceeded my expectations

I was hesitant to get pet insurance because my 5 year old dog had always been healthy but my vet recommended looking into insurance just in case. After adopting another dog, I decided to sign them both up in February and I'm so glad I did. Both dogs had a rough year with gastro problems and I don't know what I would have done without Pet's Best. I had no problems with any of my (many) claims and the funds were deposited to my checking account in no time. I just got my renewal and I was pleased to see I wasn't "penalized" for filing claims. My premium didn't increase any more than reasonably expected (a few bucks a month). I have recommended Pet's Best to every pet owner I know.
