Ms

My dog is diabetic and must wear a Libre 2 plus monitoring disc for her glucose readings. She must also eat a special dog food for diabetics to control her glucose spikes. Pets best denies both of these as part of the treatment and will not help cover the cost

THE BEST

Our Haley tore her ACL and had to have surgery. Pets Best was absolutely wonderful in helping us get thru this. The ease of filling the claim and the quick response helped us so much in a time we needed it the most. Thank You Pet's Best

Cat dental procedure

I needed to have dental work done on my cat, and I was concerned about how much would be covered and what I would be responsible for. I filed my claim. It took longer than I had expected for the claim to be thoroughly reviewed, but PetsBest stayed in touch and kept me updated throughout the process. In the end, my claim qualified for reimbursement and was promptly paid out. I was very happy. I am so thrilled that I have pet insurance and I love Pest Best. I know my cat is in good hands.
