Pet's Best is the perfect name!

My 3 year old Cavachon, Charli, has been suffering from stomach issues (nausea/vomiting) every morning for the last several weeks. So far, she's had 3 visits to our veterinarian and one visit to the ER. After blood tests, they found her Cortisol level was low, so she needed to be tested for Addison's Disease. The results were negative, which is good, but now she may need get an ultrasound as we are still seeking a diagnosis. I am sick with worry because I love her so much. However, having this incredible insurance has definitely eased some of my stress. All of these visits and tests are SO expensive, but knowing Charli can have whatever care she needs without tremendous financial burden is a great feeling. I filed 3 claims within the last 2 weeks and have already received reimbursement for all of them. Thank you SO much! PetsBest truly is the BEST!!"

Two angels

When dogs age out of our lives, the end is highly traumatic. Even worse is watching them go through the pain that disease brings them. Money is only one of the heartaches along the way, and having a bit of it returned for an animal's care is a big relief. Thanks for making this horrible process just a bit easier.
