Life Saver

I was able to confidently proceed with treatment with my cat, knowing that I had pet insurance to help with the cost. Pet's Best has been easy to work with and claims are done within reason.

Pets Best is fantastic!

"This is the first time we have purchased pet insurance. A little over three years we bought a standard bernedoodle hoping he would be around 60-80 pounds and according to the breeder he agreed that range should be close. We're in our 70's and also were hoping for the laid back personality of the Bernese Mountain Dog. Well as the saying goes "don't count your chickens before they hatch", none of what we expected/wanted took place. We love this boy to pieces but he is 110# and wired tight. Think Tasmanian Devil on steroids riding a pogo stick! So we thought it best get pet insurance. Thankfully he hasn't had any injuries but does have skin allergies. Pets Best has paid exactly what our policy states. They process our claims in a few days and our bank shows payment a few days later. We are extremely happy!"

The Easiest Claim and Reimbursement Process

Having pet insurance is a life saver, but having pet insurance that makes it easy to file claims and are prompt to reimburse makes PetsBest stand out from other insurance companies. I never have to worry about taking my dogs in for care because I know insurance will help cover those unexpected, or annual exams. They were great through my dog's CCL surgery, UTI's, and other illnesses and injury.
