Best Insurance!

Have had this insurance for a few years and my experience has been great. I feel like the fees are reasonable. The customer service is very helpful and claims are processed very quickly. The online process for making a claim is also very simple.

I’ve paid high insurance rates for 5…

I’ve paid high insurance rates for 5 years. My claim had some expense to it. I’m getting $31 back. I’m not sure how it was figured, but sheesh! Really?

I couldn’t be happier with Pets Best.

I couldn’t be happier with Pets Best Insurance! Their timely communication and excellent customer service have made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Submitting a claim was incredibly easy, and I was amazed at how quickly my claim was processed and reimbursed. Their coverage is outstanding, giving me peace of mind that my pet is well taken care of. It’s clear that Pets Best truly cares about pet owners and their furry family members. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and efficient pet insurance.

Saved again by pet insurance

Saved again by pet insurance! I would not be able to afford having Great Danes without insurance. It is SO worth it if you get a young dog, and it more than pays for itself. We recently suffered a severe laceration to the paw of my 1 year old, 160lb Great Dane, which required minor and non emergent surgery. A $1600 bill was cut in half and now my deductible is paid for the year. I had an approval within 72 hours. Thank you, pets best!
