No comparison!

Thank you. Pets Best is simply "the Best." We currently have three dogs covered and Pets Best pays exactly as agreed. As a pet owner, it is wonderful to make a health care decision withouth having to consider the economic aspect.

Best pet Insurance company ever!

I have had insurance on my little pom mix since he was a puppy. Never had a clue that he might develop a seizure disorder, but he did. Pet's Best has been wonderful; while you never want to use the insurance, it is great to know that it is there when you need it, AND that the simplicity of submitting forms, responsiveness of the staff and quick turn around time make it a pleasure to work with Pet's Best. We have a new rescue, Harvey, and he is insured as well. We're hoping he stays healthy and that we do not have to use the insurance, but it's great to know it's there if necessary.

From the moment I needed Pet's Best Insurance for my puppy they were there for me and payment on my claim was immediate. I would highly recommend Pets Best to anyone thinking of getting their pet insurance. Thank you "PET's BEST"…your name says it all.

Of course it doesn’t start when you first pay…

Thought when I bought this it would at least cover when my dog started limping about a week after I purchased it, so made a vet appt. No, coverage starts 2 wks in--so what is the 2 wks one pays for to get started? Dog is limping more and more but I cant afford vet bills is why I didnt have a dog until I found her at the dump--and why I thought it wise to at least pay for pet insurance.
