DO NOT BUY OETS BEST

Got fantastic care from Hebron Hospital. After spending over $900 on final bill, I filed the claim and after 4 weeks of no responses I get my payment of $126, and $15. Biggest rip off in the world. After paying $117 a month for over 2 years. CON ARTISTS.

Peace of Mind with Pets Best: A Young Dog Owner's Experience

We're immensely thankful for Pets Best! With two young pups, we've had our fair share of vet visits, and they've always processed our claims quickly and efficiently, covering everything from accidents to spaying/neutering. Their customer service is truly top-notch!

Pet's Best is The Best!

We are so happy that we went with Pet's Best. We chose coverage for accidents and couldn't be happier with the price for coverage. It's even better than my discounted insurance from employer. You all made a very worrisome dog fight less worrisome knowing we were covered. You were communicative and quick throughout the whole claims process. I highly recommend pet insurance and especially Pets Best as you all are, seriously, "The Best" Pet Insurance! Thank you so, so much. "

Horrible service

Took 4 weeks to review a basic claim. I submitted all paperwork and records when I filed the claim. Definitely going to find a different company right away. 4 1/2 weeks and still haven't received my money from the claim.
