Suki the super dog

Suki has mast cell cancer in a very rare form. It took Purdue University sending her tests to 2 other states to determine what cancer she has. We went through months of diagnostics in order to actually get her treated. Pet's Best has been with us all along the way. We are so happy we purchased this insurance so that we can give our baby some more time and quality of life! If we didn't have this insurance, we would have had to make some serious financial decisions to pay for Suki's care.

Our Pet Cory's Trip To The Emergency Room

"We had to take our pet Cory who is 8 years 1/2 years old now into the ER in Annapolis on 10/1/25 cause he was not eating but throwing up numerous times. He was given fluids, anti-nauseous medicine & the Vet took x-rays to make sure he didn't ingest any foreign object. He has a history of pancreatitus and we just wanted to make sure that it wasn't coming back. The staff & doctors were great to work with, they kept us in the loop as much as they could and explained everything to us before we were allowed to bring Cory home later that evening. PetsBest approved our claim and reimbursed us for everything except the rest of our deductible and co-pay. They are a great Pet Insurance Program and I would highly recommend them."
