As a Veterinarian, I go with Pet's Best

After leaving the Vet field after 10 years, I needed to buy insurance for my pets. I chose Pet's Best as my insurance carrier for my Pets in 2007 over all other providers.. I have been extremely satisfied with their timely response to any claims made, they are courteous, and genuinely concerned about my pets. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone I know looking for coverage for their pets.

The BEST customer service in pet insurance.

Had a question regarding a claim and the customer care person was able to assist me to my complete and utter satisfaction. She was so nice and personally checked to make sure my recent claim came through. I've been so happy with Pets Best I even added a new pet I recently acquired.

Covered TWO ACL Surgeries AND Arthritis!!

I have been absolutely delighted with Pets Best Insurance. The insurance has helped with not one but two ACL surgeries on our Australian shepherd. As she has grown older she has also had arthritis issues and PB has covered some of her medicine costs. I purchased my policy when my dog was young, but certainly have been most appreciative of their financial assistance as she has grown older. This is just the best insurance policy.
