THE BEST OUT THEIR

If I could pick one thing about this insurance company is that their customer service is the best! The employees actually care about your adopted "KID". Always kind and understanding. The actual owner worked many years ago with one of the so called "best, well know" insurance company, did not like what was going on and started his own. I thank the heavens above for that. I had the fore-sight to get my rescue Pets Best and the name speaks for itself. I recommend this company to Chauncy's friends parents. Vet bills can run high as we all know. Try them out, you will not regret your decision.

best insurance ive had

i have had several pet insurance plans over many years with my samoyeds and i have to say that this company by far is the BEST!!! i dont always agree with their processing of my claims (some of them they said have been pre existing) but for the most part they have come thru and that is why i am still giving them a 10 rating. Many of the other insurance companies have been more trouble than they have been worth. i have a 7 month old puppy that has had eye ulcers and now allergies and they have come through for her.

They pay 100% of your bill!

This is the only pet insurance company I could find that pays 100% of your vet bill. I mean, you have to meet a deductible first, but once you do, they pay 100% of it! My dog Tuber came down with a nasty case of kennel cough and Pets Best was there with payment of my $348 claim. They've paid some other ones as well but that was the most recent. Calling in is a joy, too. Best customer service especially compared with the last company we used. Get Pets Best and don't look back.

They PAY claims!

When our little Bella came down with Parvo, we obviously worried about the worst case scenario... death. Thank God Pets Best was there for us and even paid for all the complications that came with the disease. $2,476 dollars later, Bella was her old self again and the money was even direct deposited into our account THREE days after filing the huge claim! Thanks Pets Best!!

My German Shepherd had half his thyroid and bladder stones removed. This was very expensive surgery with lots of lab work. Pets Best promptly paid as promised. I stop complete strangers with dogs to tell them about Pets Best!!!
