best insurance

I really like this insurance. Filing a claim is very easy. The refund check never takes very long to come back. I have never had a problem with them. When my sick fur-baby had to be euthanized, the claims department saw this on the bill and took care of canceling her policy for me. I never had to contact them. They even sent an email saying sorry to hear about her passing. I would highly recommend this insurance to everyone.

One of the Best Decisions We've Made

After our dog wound up in the ER for swallowing a foreign object, we purchased Pets Best Insurance the next day and are very glad we did! Since purchasing the insurance, our dog has been back to the ER several times, been spayed (with complications and another ER visit with x-rays), as well as the usual immunizations. Last week she ate chocolate and got sick. Pets Best paid their portion minus the copay every time. The peace of mind is wonderful. THANKS!!!

Not the best

No call back when I was promised a call back. All claims are attributed to preexisting temporary conditions.
