Best Company Ever!!

Pets Best is worth every penny! When my family got our beautiful bulldog Molly, I made sure to get insurance. Every time I have called I encountered the friendliest, most helpful customer reps around. My claims get filed immediately and without question. I tell my friends that my pet insurance carrier is WAY better than any "human" company. I highly recommended Pets Best!!!!!

This real insurance that truely covers.

This company has been just like good human insurance. They do what they say their going to do. The biggest down side is the increases. But the so has human insurance. You can always pick and choose options to lower the cost.

Thank you!

My 15yo cat , Tucker, was recently diagnosed with cancer and had to be put to sleep. I sent my claim forms in for tests, euthanization, and creamation to Pets Best. Within 24 hours, they sent me an email expressing their symapthy for my loss and automatically updating my policy to remove Tucker. I appreciate this so much, as I was dreading having to call and explain my situation. Thank you, Pets Best, for taking away some of the discomfort associated with my loss.

Pets Best has always been there for me

I have had three dogs with Pets Best. Maya passed suddenly and Pets Best paid for her creamation even. The lady on the phone cared deeply that Maya passed. The pup Mika has never had a claim. My charley has been plagued with problems from seizures to eye ulcerations. Pets Best always was there for me, Maya, Charley and Mika. Always.
