Highly Recomended

I have been with Pets Best Insurance for a number of years, and I have experienced excellent customer service, and satisfaction for my pet's insurance needs. I highly recommend Pets Best Insurance to all my friends for the wonderful service they provide for my pup. I can't say thanks enough.

Great insurance for older cats

Pets Best associates did well in not only explaining my new policy, but also in advising for and against policy changes for two cats, offering help in thinking through how to approach our geriatric cat's likelihood of health care needs and what, exactly, counts as a "pre-existing illness."

Pays back quick

Recently my Irish wolfhound Lucy ate a toy. So she had surgery at our vet. We'll she wasn't getting any better so we took her back to the vet. We had an ultrasound and found her intestines had detached after the surgery. So she had to have surgery again within 4 days. Needless to say we had a very large bill of approximately $5800. Pets best was quick and paid more than 1/2 of the bill!!!!
