Didn't have to worry when our cat got sick

Our beloved Moustachio was diagnosed with feline lymphoma and had to undergo a series of tests. As difficult as the situation was, it was made easier by the fact that we didn't worry about whether we could afford Moustachio's care. The doctors did what they needed to do, and we had the reimbursement money back in our account within a week. It is wonderful not having to worry about whether an insurance company will pay their claims or not. Pet owners with sick pets have enough stress as it is. I am very grateful to Pet's Best for giving us peace of mind, and allowing for us to provide for our pet's health care needs without breaking the bank.

Good coverage for my cat's diabetes!

I called Pets Best recently because I couldn't remember if my cat, Phil's, policy had been renewed. Not only was it up to date, but I learned that his diagnosis of diabetes was covered by his policy, which was a tremedous blessing. Jayne, the customer care person there was so helpful and so personable. What a wonderful company and employee. Thank you Pets Best!

The Best Coverage at a Stellar Price

Fortunately, I have not had to submit a claim for Tasha this past year. Pet's Best Insurance is very good to work with on an administrative level. You are given 30 to 45 days' notice before your policy expires along with your renewal rate which gives you ample time to decide. I checked out so many other insurance companies and Pet's Best, by far, offered the best coverage at a reasonable rate.

Best Decision I Ever Made!

Best thing I ever did was buy insurance from Pets Best. I only wish I had known about it sooner--it would have helped me so much.

Caring and Excellent Claims Handling

I have to be honest, I was conflicted about keeping pet insurance, but fortunately we decided with a 10 year old dog it probably was wise to continue the policy. When Annie decided to eat a box of D-Con there was no question we would do everything in our power to save her no matter the cost. We were so pleased that the claim was processed immediately and actually covered most of our expenses. Annie has a long way to go, but we are so thankful she is still with us and thankful to Pets Best for being there and handling claims in such a caring and efficient way.
