I've never loved an insurance company before . . .

I NEVER write reviews. But I have to compliment and thank Pets Best. Took my dog in for raisin toxicity (don't ask) on Thurs night. Bill came to $1790 (48 hrs emergency care and monitoring). Submitted claim Sunday night, online. Claim processed by Tuesday night. Pets Best is covering $1353. Had this kind of accident once before with VPI. They paid less than $200 out of a $1000 bill. Enough said.

Don't get pets best!!!!! Jan 2013

Have 6 yr old lack lab filed one claim $400 last year got back small portion as they claimed "pre existing" which it was not. Had to fight them for weeks t get that. I have been with same vet his entire life and no pre existing---. I changed to them after being w same insurance for 5 yrs as I heard some great things about them. My policy for year was $600 last year. Just got renewal notice and it has triple premium on 2nd year to almost $1400 for one year. My dog is perfectly healthy and great vet record. This is crazy!!!!!! Go with embrace or petplane

One Satisfied Customer

I am very please with the service I got from Pets Best! My do is almost 8 and I began to worry about her health. She has been healthy and wanted to keep her that way. One might not know what will happen when she gets older, so wanted to protect her and myself as well. I submitted a claim on Monday and on Friday it had been paid. You are AMAZING Pets Best!

Excellent Customer Service

I've been with Pet's Best for approximately 4 years and have recommended this company to many friends. They're customer service staff have been terrific any time I contacted them, which is not often because I really didn't need to. They are quick with the service they provide and have never questioned any of my claims. They are true in their words.

What a blessing to have Pets Best Insurance

We have had PB insurance for the last 8 years for our amazing Riley. When he got lymphoma this summer I knew we had the resources to treat this disease aggressively. this gave us options. His claims were processed within days. I only wish he would have responded better to the treatment, however, we did get 6 more months with a happy dog who was not in pain or suffered much until the last days. For this I am truly grateful to Pets Best.
