I would recommend this company

I didn't file a claim for months after my cat passed away. I got her insurance and a couple weeks later we had to put her down. I had her for 16 years, so my entire adult life. I was pretty devastated and depressed. Also very anxious about calling and filing a claim. The representative made it super easy for me and she was very kind and understanding. The website was easy to use as well. I got refunded for the months my cat was not alive. If I get another pet, I would be very interested in using PetsBest again. I appreciate it being hassle free and I received my refund very quickly

Highly Recommend

Getting PetsBest pet insurance was one of the best decisions I made when my dog was a puppy. After just two short years on this earth, he was the victim of antifreeze poisoning. PetsBest insurance quickly reimbursed all covered costs with no problems. I am grateful for the coverage and for them being so respectful over this tragic loss for our family.

First claim

I must have looked at every pet insurance policy there is- and kept coming back to Pets Best. It was not the least expensive- but it offered a better range of coverage than most. Our first claim did take longer than I expected for reimbursement- and I would prefer more specific updates on the process, but the reimbursement (for spay/neuter) was for the amount as advertised. When I called to inquire about the claim status, the representative was quick to answer and was helpful.
