Great, if your dog manages to get sick a lot

My very exuberant American Bulldog has never incurred expenses anywhere near our deductible. He got tapeworms once, & the claim was processed very quickly & efficiently. My only complaint with this company is that they never seem to be available by phone; they seem to always be closed.

A very happy customer.

My 6 year old dog was bitten by a rattlesnake 3 years ago and Pets Best Insurance paid $1800.00 of a $2200.00 bill. I was very pleased and satisfied with the process of the claim procedures and the amount covered. Last month the same dog got an infection in her toe and her nail had to be removed. Pets Best paid $564.00 of a $805.00 bill. I received by check in less than a week with updates by email along the way. I am very happy with Pets Best and I recommend them often.

My dog has allergies

My dog has allergies and requires weekly shots by me, bi-annual visits to his dermatologist (the allergist in the dog world) as well as periodic medication that requires monthly followup visits to his regular vet. The premium may seem high but we have covered it and then some so we would be behind if we did not have the pet insurance. They let you know when they receive the claim and they deposit right into the bank or you can elect a check. Nothing is set in stone and every situation is different.

VERY Pleased With Coverage

I got coverage for my dog Pogo for his 10th birthday. Almost 2 years later, busy Pogo had his first claim -- from a run-in with a squirrel. He had an emergency care visit and 2 visits to my vet -- and everything was covered. Now all 3 pets have coverage -- I would never go without pet insurance on any pet again. VERY happy! Would I recommend Pets Best? I DO, frequently.
